Museum Street (Bozen)
The Museumstrasse ( Italian Via Museo ) is a street in the old town area of the South Tyrolean capital Bozen . It is named after the Bolzano City Museum .
The Museumstrasse has been attested since the 13th century and was originally called Fleischgasse . This is where the meat banks of the Bolzano butchers stood , who ensured the meat supply of old Bolzano and gave the street its name. In the district court code of Gries-Bozen from 1487, Michel Pinter and Linhart Mayr, their own district captains, appear in the Fleischgassen , who at the same time act as the sovereign tax collectors.
In 1901 the street was named after the city museum, which was only opened in 1905 but was already under construction.
The street running in east-west direction starts at the west end of the fruit square and crosses Sparkassenstraße in the middle to reach the Talferbrücke after a slight incline , over which the old connection to the district of Gries-Quirein has existed since the 14th century was. From Museumstrasse, near the fruit market, Rauschertorgasse branches off to the north and Erbsengasse to the south .
The most famous building on Museumstrasse is the South Tyrol Museum of Archeology , which is housed at the former headquarters of the Austrian (kk) National Bank (before the First World War) or its successor, the Italian national bank Banca d'Italia .
The daylight studio of the Waldmüller photographer dynasty was located in the Villa Edelweiß, a northern rear building on Museumstrasse (No. 60) . Since the late 1980s, the Galerie Museum (AR / GE Kunst), an art gallery specializing in contemporary art, has been represented on Museumstrasse.
The Torgglhaus is located on the northeast corner of the fruit market , directly opposite the former Gasthaus Zur Sonne .
Museumstrasse is part of Bolzano's pedestrian zone .
