I absolutely loved visiting both parts this museum: the Hofkirche and the folk museum. The history and beauty of the Hofkirche’s interior stand in sharp contrast to its plain facade. Stunning!
The Stube/parlor period rooms, some dating back over 500 years, are incredible. The cultural artifacts in the rest of the museum are so unique and interesting that I could have spent hours reading all of the descriptions (which are thankfully written in German and English) but my partner (who goes through museums much more quickly than I do) was already killing time in the little cafe in the lobby, waiting for me. (Oh, the things we both do for love.)
To make a long story short, this church and museum are not to be missed!!!

Wonderfully curated museum. We only had a day to spend in Innsbruck and this museum was worth two hours of our day! So much interesting stuff to see, but the highlight was the 14 reconstructed Stuben which really made you feel like you're inside small alpine houses!

Very good museum for a rainy day. The combo ticket for 12 euros covers 5 different locations but unfortunately we only had time to do the museum and the church. Both were awesome! As everyone is saying make sure to download the Audioguide on your phone and bring headphones if you can. Also the gift shop had some pretty awesome books!

I loved this! If you can only do one thing in Innsbruck, visit this museum.
A huge collection of traditional Tyrolean home interiors (whole rooms), tools, household items, furniture, painted wood, games, costumes, clothing and accessories, photographs: work in wood, metal, leather, bone, glass.
The details of decorations in all forms are outstanding.
From the garden there is a series of rooms with an audio visual presentation about Maximilian's life in languages one following the other (probably every 5 mins).
When you get to the church, you understand his burial location.
This is good for children as well.

Visited using the Innsbruck card, but I would recommend visiting even if you have to buy a separate ticket. The museum is absolutely full of all kinds of folk art from Tirol and you could spend a whole day if you examined each exhibit in detail. As a bonus, a door on floor 2 allowed entrance to an upper gallery of the Hofkirche, providing a different view of the tomb and altar (you should still visit the church anyway, there is a combo ticket with the museum). Very interesting, even for someone from outside the region.
