The Messner Mountain Museum
The bond between man and the mountains. The Messner Mountain Museum is the heart of the museum circuit conceived by Reinhold Messner and is housed within the ancient walls of Firmiano Castle, which rises majestically on a porphyry rock at the confluence of the Adige and Isarco rivers. The museum is built from a modern glass and steel structure in which everything has been constructed (by Wener Tscholl) so that it can be removed.The exhibition route winds its way through the towers, halls and courtyards of the fortress, offering the visitor an overview of the mountain universe. Works, paintings, relics and natural exhibits tell the story of the close relationship between man and the mountains, the orogenesis of mountain ranges and their disintegration, the link between mountains and religion, the majesty of the world's most famous peaks, and the history of mountaineering from its beginnings to today's alpine tourism.
