Alpine Club Museum Innsbruck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alpine Club Museum in Innsbruck is a museum of the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖAV) on the history of alpinism .

history

The Alpine Club Museum was opened in 1911 as the "Alpine Museum" in a former villa on the Isar in Munich , following a main decision by the German and Austrian Alpine Club . In 1944 it was destroyed in a bombardment, although the majority of the collection had previously been brought to Tyrol. However, it was not until 1973 that the PES showed a selection of the collection in the Palais Thurn und Taxis on Maria-Theresia-Straße for the first time. From 1977 the museum was located on the third floor of the newly built Alpine Club building on Wilhelm-Greil-Straße. In 1993 the exhibition area was structurally changed and in 1996 the company began its own exhibition productions. In 2002, the year of the mountains, an exhibition ("vertical - The Innsbrucker Nordkette. An exhibition in the city") was shown in public for the first time. After the Alpine Club moved into a new building, the old exhibition space was no longer available from 2008, and a cooperation was entered into with the Hofburg, where a permanent exhibition was shown until 2014.

Exhibitions

The museum was awarded the Tyrolean Museum Prize and the Austrian Museum Prize in 2009 for the permanent exhibition "Mountains, an incomprehensible passion" and was nominated for the 2010 European Museum Prize. The permanent exhibition was located on around 700 m² on the 1st floor in the Innsbruck Hofburg and was extended until October 2014.
