Mountain Messner Museum, founded by the Italian mountaineer, first to conquer all 14 "eight-thousanders" of the world, is located in Bolzano in five different places. A unique project consists of a main Museum center, based in Castello Firmian, and its branches in Uvala, the Dolomites, Ortler and reap. All five structures are interconnected by a network of trails, which is also part of the project, as are encountered during transitions between exhibits magnificent landscapes of South Tyrol.

As mentioned above, the Central core of the Mining Museum is Castello Firmiano, he Sigmundskron located in the outskirts of Bolzano. The castle was built in the Middle ages, and today it houses the headquarters of the Museum and administrative offices and a variety of activities. There is also a small theater that seats up to 200 people. The Museum was opened in 2006, the year after three years of restoration work. I must say that the appearance of the castle as a result of these works has remained virtually unchanged – a new glass roof and ventilation system, and the various cables are not visible from outside, thanks to the architect Werner Colle.

The total area of the exhibition halls in the Castello Firmiano – about 1100 sq. m. Its main theme is dedicated to the history of the origin and development of mountaineering.
