The Abbey Museum has been established in the historic rooms of the provostry since 1977 as a place of religious and historical events.
The museum comprises several focal points in twelve rooms equipped for visitors:
Schatzkammer mit Kopie des Tassilokelchs, gedeckter Tisch für die zwölf Kanoniker mit Tafel-Silber und Zinngeschirr, Gemäldegalerie mit Werken von J. M. Rottmayr. Zudem warten kulturhistorisch bedeutsame Exponate auf die Besucher: die Stiftsbibliothek mit über 3.000 Exponaten, darunter Handschriften und Frühdrucke, diverse Urkunden (beispielsweise jene aus dem Jahr 860, die Ludwig der Deutsche, Enkel des Kaisers Karl der Große, dem Kloster Mattsee für eine Schenkung an die Mattseer Missionare im Osten ausgestellt hat).
Also on display: liturgical silver and gold treasures from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries as well as an astronomical clock from 1704. Two rooms are also presented - one in memory of the musician Anton Diabelli (furnished in Biedermeier style), the second in memory of Prof. Burghard Breitner (also furnished and complemented by Prof. Breitner's surgical cutlery in Siberia and his last medical writings). Worth seeing: the documentation on the Mattseer exile of Saint Stephen Crown of Hungary ... and much more.
The Mattseer Collegiate Church is a beautiful setting for a church wedding. The attractively designed Stiftsplatz is a popular meeting place before the wedding ceremony and for the champagne reception afterwards.
