The former administration building of the saltworks today houses the Ebensee Local Heritage Museum. Visitors can learn about the area’s salt production and timber industry, and about local customs and traditions, such as the history of the „Gloecklerlauf“ Procession, deeply steeped in history and tradition, and the Rag Carnival of Ebensee.

A SPECIAL EXHIBITION is dedicated to "HOME - HEAVEN & HELL", Ebensee’s contribution to the 2008 Upper Austria Provincial Exhibition.
The main emphasis of this interesting topic is discussed in three parts: Immigration, internal migration and emigration – the fine line between losing and winning a home – that have always played an important role in the socio-historic development of Salzkammergut. People did not always choose to come here out of their own will: forced labor and detainees from NS detention camps were also among those who ended up in Salzkammergut. Others in turn were forced to leave the region when salt mining was reformed in the mid 18th century and many men lost their jobs. Numerous working-class families moved to the Wooded Carpathians in the very east of the Monarchy where they started a new existence in the timber and salt industries.

The annual Christmas Crèche Exhibition in winter depicts the long and living history of elaborately carved nativity scenes, deeply steeped in tradition.
