Year of Euregio Museums 2025
Under the slogan "Weiter Sehen-Guardare oltre” (look beyond), the second Euregio Museum Year 2025 presents around 30 exciting individual and collaborative projects across the European region of Tyrol, South Tyrol, and Trentino. This makes a visit to one of the participating museums particularly worthwhile this year: through exhibitions and event series, bridges are built not only across regional borders but also between past and present.
Fascinating Exhibitions in Great Variety
We are living in turbulent times – and 500 years ago was also a period of upheaval. The Euregio Museum Year takes the Peasants' Revolts of 1525 and the ideas of peasant leader Michael Gaismair, born in Tschöfs near Sterzig, as a starting point to explore themes of justice, crisis management, power dynamics, and forms of resistance. From the history of the Peasants' Wars to visions for a liveable future, around 30 museums in the European region build diverse bridges between yesterday and today.
The theme of the special exhibition in the Hofburg in Brixen is ‘1525-2025. IRRUPTION - SUBVERSION - RENEWAL'.
