Messner mountain Museum Juval

JUVALE, 3, Castelbello-Ciardes (Bolzano/Bozen)
As the centrepiece of the Messner
Mountain Museum, MMM Firmian in Sigmundskron Castle near Bozen addresses
the subject of man’s encounter with the mountains. In a setting
dominated by the various peaks between the Schlern and the Texel range,
the museum is spacious enough to be organised as an itinerary between
the various works of art, installations and relics that it houses. The
paths, stairs and towers lead visitors form the depths of the mountain,
where their origins and exploitation are brought to life, and the
religious significance of the peaks as an aid to orientation and a
bridge to the beyond, to the history of mountaineering and the alpine
tourist industry that we know today. Annual exhibitions are also held.
