The Eboardmuseum in Klagenfurt is Europe’s largest museum dedicated to electronic keyboards, a vibrant, hands‑on celebration of musical innovation. Founded by musician Gert Prix, it grew from a private passion into a vast collection that charts the evolution of synthesizers, electric pianos, organs, and stage keyboards from the 1950s to today. Its atmosphere is part museum, part rehearsal room, part time machine. Inside, visitors encounter legendary instruments that shaped modern music: classic Moog and ARP synthesizers, rare Mellotrons, iconic Hammond organs, and stage pianos used by touring bands. One of the most fascinating aspects is that many instruments are not just for display — they can be played. This interactive approach turns the museum into a playground for musicians, families, and curious visitors alike. Themed sections highlight milestones such as the rise of analog synthesis, the digital revolution of the 1980s, and the quirky charm of early drum machines. Concerts and jam sessions take place regularly, transforming the museum into a lively performance venue where vintage gear comes alive.
Klagenfurt am Wörthersee Austria
The Eboardmuseum is located in the city of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee in Carinthia, Austria. You will find it in the district of Viktring, set inside a former factory building that gives the collection plenty of space. It is one of the world’s largest museums for electronic keyboard instruments, with over 2000 exhibits ranging from vintage electric pianos and organs to synthesizers, drum machines, and iconic stage keyboards used by famous bands. Many of the instruments are playable, and the museum regularly hosts concerts and jam sessions where visitors can hear and try the equipment. Viktring itself is worth a visit. The area is known for the Viktring Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery with a beautiful church, cloister, and park grounds that often host cultural events. The abbey is only a short walk from the museum and makes a nice pairing for a cultural afternoon. From Viktring it is just a few minutes into Klagenfurt’s city center. The old town centers around Neuer Platz with the Lindwurm fountain, the city’s dragon symbol. Nearby you can explore the Landhaus with its coat-of-arms hall, the cathedral, and the charming Renaissance courtyards and cafés of the pedestrian zone. Lake Wörthersee is also close by. The eastern shore and the Strandbad Klagenfurt lido offer swimming and boat rentals in summer, while Minimundus miniature park and the Reptilienzoo are popular family stops near the lake.
