As a cantonal museum, the Nidwalden Museum has a collection of objects and works of art that document the art and cultural history of the canton. Like many regional museums, it was founded at the instigation of the local historical society. Early on, however, contemporary works of art from the canton were also included in the collection. Today, the Nidwalden Museum consists of three buildings, the salt store and the Winkelriedhaus with pavilion in Stans and the Fürigen Fortress in Stansstad. The Salzmagazin is the actual original building of the Nidwalden Museum. Very centrally located at the valley station of the Stanserhorn cable car, an exhibition is shown here every year from spring to fall, focusing on a theme from the culture or history of Nidwalden.
