The Mountains of Tyrol

“Cowbells, the Berliner Hütte mountain hut in the Zillertal Alps, glacial legacy waste and a statue of Saint Nicholas – the mountainous landscape of Tyrol links them all. The exhibition explores the relationships between people and mountains – past and present. Alongside historical objects, it features artworks, films, songs and interactive stations. It’s an exhibition for mountain enthusiasts, families and curious visitors alike. Tyrol’s mountains feel familiar: images of snow-covered peaks, untouched nature and mountain huts continue to shape how the region is perceived today. Yet a closer look also reveals motorways, dams and ski lifts. This is not a contradiction but part of a region whose mountains have long been shaped by diverse uses. …”
