Am Krahuletzplatz in Eggenburg steht das Krahuletzmuseum. Auf der vorderen Fassade ist in großen Buchstaben das Erbauungsjahr und der Name des Gebäudes zu lesen:

ERB. A.D. MCMIV

KRAHVLETZ-MVSEVM

Ausgeschrieben bedeutet das: Erbaut Anno Domini MCMIV (1904). Das Museum wurde 1901 - 1904 nach Plänen des Architekten Richard Jordan gebaut. Das Gebäude steht unter Denkmalschutz und beherbergt das Krahuletz-Museum, das in zahlreichen Dauer- und Sonderausstellungen von archäologischen, paläontologischen und geologischen Sammlungen einen reichhaltigen Überblick über die Kultur- und Naturgeschichte der Region bietet.

"Der Name des Museums geht auf den Sammler und Forscher Johann Krahuletz (1848-1928) zurück. Der spätere Professor für Geologie schuf den Grundstein der einzigartigen Sammlung erdgeschichtlicher, archäologischer und volkskundlicher Funde, die schon viele Besucher auf eine Zeitreise entführte.

Erleben Sie hier eine Milliarde Jahre Erdgeschichte – vom Hochgebirge über das
Eggenburger Meer zur Kältesteppe der Eiszeit (Mineralien, Gesteine & Fossilien).
Afrika – Wiege der Menschheit, Entwicklungsgeschichte des Menschen und 30.000 Jahre Kulturgeschichte – Archäologie der Stein- und Metallzeiten. Volkskundesammlung mit ländlicher Sachkultur, umfangreiche Uhrensammlung und Kunstkabinett."

The Krahuletz Museum is located on Krahuletzplatz in Eggenburg. The year of construction and the name of the building can be read in large letters on the front facade:

Built A.D. MCMIV

KRAHVLETZ-MVSEVM

The museum was built in 1901 - 1904 according to the plans of the architect Richard Jordan. The building is a listed monument and houses the Krahuletz Museum, which offers a rich overview of cultural and natural history in numerous permanent and special exhibitions of archaeological, paleontological and geological collections.

"The name of the museum goes back to the collector and researcher Johann Krahuletz (1848-1928). The later professor of geology laid the foundation for the unique collection of geological, archaeological and folkloric finds, which has already taken many visitors on a journey through time.

Here you can experience a billion years of earth history - from the high mountains to the Eggenburg Sea to the cold steppe of the Ice Age (minerals, rocks & fossils).
Africa - cradle of mankind, history of human development and 30,000 years of cultural history - archaeology of the stone and metal ages. Folklore collection with rural material culture, extensive clock collection and art cabinet."
