Firmian: The Mountain as a Counterpart
This is where the journey begins: an encounter with the mountain, with nature and with ourselves. Firmian is at the heart of the Messner Mountain Museum and of an inner expedition.
Man and Mountain: A Story in Stages
Firmian explores the relationship between humans and mountains from spiritual, economic, philosophical and cultural perspectives. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through walls, towers and plains. It begins in the depths, exploring formation, rock and exploitation. It then moves on to explore myths and religions, before leading on to tourism and alpinism.
The architecture, art and nature come together to form a narrative unit. The paths are deliberately open and the perspectives are not predetermined. This is not a museum with corridors. It is a space for new experiences and adventures.
Thoughts in the Rock
The idea behind this place is as follows: Eight towers present eight perspectives on the world of mountains, covering everything from their formation and decay to myths, alpinism and tourism. A camera will guide you through the exhibition and the building's underlying concepts.
I have the opportunity to use the minimally renovated Sigmundskron ruins to create a central meeting place for all things mountain-related. This will enable me to give something back to South Tyrol and its mountains, after an exciting journey of discovery into the mountains of the world and the dark crevices of my soul. I couldn't have found a better location for our mountain museum.
