In addition to concerts, readings and theatrical performances, the Touriseum's cultural offer this winter also includes a children's programme with special workshops for younger visitors to the museum. Other attractions include a tour featuring "250 years of tourism in Tyrol" and the permanent exhibition on "Trauttmansdorff Castle and its illustrious inhabitants", the South Tyrol game and the "Hotel Fantasia".
