Swarovski's Crystal Worlds

Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds) is a huge garden cum museum complex to showcase their crystal fantasies. Opened in 1995 on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Swarovski, it is located at their original works at Wattens, near Innsbruck, Austria and houses exhibitions related to, or inspired by, the crystals. The Crystal Worlds is fronted by a giant grass-covered head, the mouth of which is a huge fountain.

Besides the grass covered exhibition hall, the complex also has a well laid garden and play area for the children including a maze in the shape of Giant's hand. It is one of the most touristy spot of Austria and since its inception has attracted several millions visitors.
