The Meilen local museum is housed in a 19th century Biedermeier house. The exhibitions vividly illustrate the life of the pile dwellers who once lived on the shores of Lake Zurich. Among other things, their tools, weapons, household utensils and jewelry can be admired. The museum also features finds from Meilen's former "home castle" Friedberg, the history of the Protestant church, the development of the village and the works of the veduta painter J. J. Meyer.

The three rooms on the first floor and the spacious cellar regularly host temporary exhibitions by local and foreign artists and collectors.
