Ortsmuseum Obervaz - Museum local Vaz, Vaz / Obervaz
The old rectory in Zorten, where Capuchin fathers worked from 1663 to 1933, is now home to the Museum Vaz/Obervaz.
The museum local Vaz shows the life and works of the original rural population and the development of tourism to the world-famous health resort Lenzerheide-Valbella. The collection includes folklore, agriculture, handicrafts, church history, sports and tourism, a fully equipped blacksmith's and wainwright's workshop from Muldain, the mill from Zorten, a weaving room from Lain with a loom that is still being worked on today, a Maiensäss kitchen and numerous other objects. In the adjoining gallery "Sala Parpan" sculptures of the sculptor Ferdinand Parpan, honorary citizen of Vaz/Obervaz, are exhibited. These are regularly set in dialogue with contemporary cultural creations from the region.
