For a year now, the Bündner Herrschaft has been home to a very special attraction of international significance: the world's only museum that has chosen 'Middle-earth' as its main theme.
Middle-earth' refers to the fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien, in which the novels 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings', which are part of world literature, are set.
The Greisinger Museum is not only the only Middle-earth museum in the world, it also houses the largest and most important collection of its kind: the Greisinger Collection. It is the collection of Bernd Greisinger and includes over 3,500 books by and about Tolkien, 600 drawings and paintings by around 100 artists and thousands of collector's items of all kinds. The most important objects are on display in the museum: in addition to the many unique books and beautiful paintings, there are life-size creatures: a troll, an Ent and a Balrog.
The museum took five years to build. In order to present the exhibits in the best possible way, all fifteen rooms were designed in such a way that visitors feel as if they are in Middle-earth. Through the door of the Hobbit Cave you enter the 300 square meter museum, most of whose rooms are underground.

The museum is a non-profit foundation and has no opening hours. To visit the museum, you must book tickets for a guided tour in advance on the museum's website.
