The Museum of Pop Culture delves into the world-shaping impact of pop culture through immersive exhibitions and interactive experiences. From rock music to science fiction, MoPOP showcases the creative expressions that define contemporary culture. The eccentric architectural style of the museum is a major draw in itself.

The court church is situated on the east side of the old town next to the Hofburg Imperial Palace. Habsburg emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519) planned an escort of life-size bronze figures, which were designed by prominent artists of his time. The twenty-eight so-called “Schwarze Mander“ (black men) were worked on by painter Albrecht Dürer as well as casters Stefan Godl, Peter Vischer and Peter Löffler, among others. The statues were not completed, however, until Maximilian’s grandson Ferdinand I took over and had this significant piece of Renaissance art displayed in Innsbruck’s Hofkirche.

Opened in 2011, this museum is now home to the ‘Riesenrundgemälde’, one of the few remaining 19th century panoramic paintings. The giant canvas measuring 1,000m² depicts an idealized rendition of the fierce fighting that took place during the third Bergisel battle. In the same context, the Tirol Panorama addresses various historical aspects in connection with the giant panoramic painting and provides the link to the long-established Kaiserjägermuseum.

Coronet Peak is the most popular ski area in Southern New Zealand, and it is located only a 20 minutes drive away from the city. The view up the mountain makes you feel on top of the world, and the dramatic slopes are provided with tracks for snow lovers of any ability.
