MMM Ripa in Bruneck

In summer 2011 he inaugurated the "Messner Mountain Museum" at Bruneck Castle, dedicated to the peoples of the mountain. For Messner, however, the realization of museums has not been easy, there have been many controversies  to be done. Almost like climbing a mountain!

The Messner Mountain Museum in Bruneck, is the fifth of this kind. Other museums by Reinhold Messner's are Juval Castle, the museum in Sulden, Sigmundskron Castle and Monte Rite in Belluno. 

This is an interactive museum, through which Messner intends inspire people to an exchange of experiences with local peasant populations. Each year will be invited guests of the various Alpine regions that will tell their costumes and their lifestyles. The Messner Mountain Museum at Bruneck Castle should be dedicated to the Sherpa, Indians, Tibetans, Mongols and Hunza people.
