Swarovski Crystal Worlds, also known as Swarovski Kristallwelten, is one of the top places to visit in Austria. It is an excellent museum/theme park and art gallery, located just 20 kilometers east of Innsbruck, in Wattens. The museum was built in 1995 in honor of the Austrian-based crystal company Swarovski's 100th anniversary. This world-famous company was founded by Daniel Swarovski in 1895. The main attraction of the park is the "Chambers of Wonder" exhibition, which is contained within a green hill. The museum was designed by multimedia artist Andre Heller, who was commissioned to design the museum with fourteen chambers after the hundredth anniversary of the company. Its 14 chambers display impressive artworks in crystals that are uniquely themed. One of the most interesting features of the park is the fascinating Giant at its entrance, which is actually a large landscaped waterfall in the shape of a human head that spews water from its mouth.

The Chambers demonstrate excellent artworks in crystal, and highlights include crystal theater, a spectacular crystal dome, and enchanting crystal forest installation.
