Mask Exhibition Tuifl - Grinziger Tuifl

What's it about?

The Grinziger Tuifl present their fascinating mask collection in an exhibition at the community hall. Tuifl are a central element of Austria's alpine traditional culture: these demonic figures, whose origins lie in pre-Christian winter and fertility rituals, are represented in Perchten and Tuifl runs by elaborate, hand-carved wooden masks. The Grinziger Tuifl are a traditional group from Grinzing, the traditional Heuriger (wine tavern) district in Vienna's 19th district. Their mask collection offers an impressive insight into the craftsmanship and the vibrant traditional custom that is still cultivated in Vienna and throughout Austria today. The exhibition is accessible all day and invites visitors to experience the fascinating world of alpine customs up close.
