In Sarganserland, Flums, Mels and Walenstadt are considered the strongholds of mask carvers. However, this tradition, which is over 150 years old, is still practiced in other communities in the region. 150 historical and contemporary wooden masks are on display in the museum and showcase the typical customs of the region. The Sarganserland Mask Museum was established in 2006 as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Sarganserland Walensee Valley Community in the basement of Flums Town Hall. The exhibition is divided into three rooms. The region room contains typical masks from all eight Sarganserland municipalities. A video show tells the story of how a single wooden mask is made. In the mask history room, historical masks and valuable rarities as well as the carving tools needed to make them are on display. Finally, the third room, the room of masks, is dedicated to new masks by contemporary carvers.
