As a cantonal museum, the Nidwalden Museum has a collection of objects and works of art that document the art and cultural history of the canton. Like many regional museums, it was founded on the initiative of the local historical society. Early on, however, contemporary works of art from the canton were also included in the collection. Today, the Nidwalden Museum consists of three buildings, the salt magazine and the Winkelriedhaus with pavilion in Stans and the Fürigen Fortress in Stansstad. With original equipment from the 1940s, the Fürigen Fortress in Stansstad conveys a real impression of how Switzerland's military situation was assessed from the Second World War to the end of the Cold War.
