Klagenfurt - Carinthian Provincial Museum Landesmuseum

Immediately east of the Provincial Government building in Klagenfurt's Arnulfplatz is the Provincial Museum (Landesmuseum), built in 1879-84, with rich collections of material on the natural history, art and life of Carinthia, and also on the history of the town (including a model of Klagenfurt as it was about 1800). Particularly notable among the medieval items are the "Fürstenstein" (Prince's Stone) from Karnburg, on which until 1414 the duke elected by the peasantry was enthroned, and the ceremonial sword of the Knights of St George from Millstatt (1499). Items of interest in the natural history section include the Ice Age rhinoceros skull which provided the model for the Dragon Fountain and relief models of the Grossglockner mountains, the Villach Alps and the eastern Karawanken.
