### What it is

Swarovski Kristallwelten is the museum and park that the crystal company opened in October 1995 in Wattens, about 20 km east of Innsbruck. The entrance is the Giant: a grass-covered hill with a face, crystal eyes and a waterfall in its mouth, the idea of the Austrian artist André Heller. Under the hill are the Wunderkammern, rooms in which artists and designers work with crystal; outside, a park with outdoor works, an alpine garden and a children's area.

It works in rain, through the rooms, and in sun, through the park. Allow two to three hours.
