The museum whose exterior looks like a 300 hundred years old Engadine style house is actually only more than one hundred years old. It was Riet Campell (1866 – 1951) who founded this museum and entrusted the architect Nikolaus Hartmann (1880 – 1956) with the construction of a house for his collection. This house should reflect the typical Engadine style. The museum shelters an important collection of furnishings and objects of the culture and habitation of the Engadine.
Already from the end of the 19th century, Riet Campell collected furniture, equipment, weapons, books and textiles, but above all complete interiors of alpine pine wood. The foundation of the museum reflected the upcoming concern to protect the local culture of that time.
