25 years museum

Millions of visitors, 112 special exhibitions and thousands of events, including lectures, matinees, workshops and museum nights. This is the balance of the South Tyrol Nature Museum since its opening on September 14, 1999 until today. On that Tuesday 25 years ago, the museum's permanent exhibition opened its doors. To celebrate this long journey together, the Nature Museum is presenting its own temporary exhibition full of memories with objects from old exhibitions and numerous photos that make it possible to relive many of the past events. “Above all, it is an opportunity to leave your own impressions, memories of the museum, wishes and suggestions so that the Natural History Museum becomes an even more lively, inspiring and inviting place,” says museum director David Gruber. The exhibition runs from next Saturday, September 14th to October 6th. On Friday, September 20th, the museum will also celebrate its 25th anniversary from 5 p.m. to midnight with live music, workshops for children, storytelling and short tours with stargazing in the inflatable planetarium. On the occasion of the Long Night of the Bolzano Museums on Friday, October 4th, the exhibition - as well as the entire museum - can be viewed free of charge from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.
