If you are holidaying near Bruck town, 6 km from the famous ski resort of Zell am See, take a look at the unusual exhibition hall, the World of Candles Museum. As you wander among the stacks of wax figures, candles, decorative objects and statues, you will be struck by how beautiful and sophisticated wax can be in its many different interpretations.
Colourless wax, once in the hands of a master, comes to life and becomes a masterpiece. Shaped, spherical, cast, scented, candles in vessels — they all catch the eye and inspire admiration.
There are 10,000 wax objects on display at the World of Candles. A separate section called "The Museum" is of particular interest to children because of the unique handmade wax figures on display, among which the most fascinating are the characters from the Grimm fairy tales — Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Hansel and Gretel.
The variety and colourfulness of the exhibits will delight the eye, and the opportunity to buy your favourite candle at manufacturer's prices is sure to tempt any visitor to the centre. You can also buy beautiful candlesticks and other decorative items in the shop. By the way, Austrian shaped candles can be a wonderful souvenir for friends and relatives.
