Mountains in the Museum: Alpine Museum's Miniature Alps and Historical Biwak Box
- Кркснє слово:*
The German Alpine Club (DAV) has spruced up the garden of the Alpine Museum in Munich with some fresh additions, like an authentic Alpine relief and historical Biwak box from the Zugspitz region. There's also the original Höllentalangerhütte from 1893/1894, and the revamped Alpinum, showcasing various vegetation zones and protected plants such as alpine violets and edelweiss.
Miniature Alps - Printed in Sand
But the real show-stopper? A badass, 30 square meter large Alpine relief, featuring the entire Alpine arc in a scale of 1:100,000 - that's some highfalutin' precision, friends! This bad boy was created using a 3D printing process on a sand base and apparently has one hell of an eye-catching design: think giant mountains with their heights exaggerated for better visibility, individual peaks and locations marked and labeled with brass.
The garden also sports a memorial stone for the Jewish mountaineers who got Karen from the Alpine Club, as well as some bouldering stones, because, you know, why not climb a freakin' mountain in the garden?
Barrier-free Nature Experience
We're talking about one accessible, mother-clucking nature experience here! The entire garden, like the Alpine Museum itself, is now free and clear for all. The goal was to transform the 6,000 square meter area on the Prater Island not just into a natural paradise, but also a museum space.
Sadly, the museum had to close its doors again about a year ago for a three-year construction period, costing a cool €10.5 million. But fear not! The spruced-up museum now boasts approximately 600 square meters for exhibitions and events, a gastronomic area, and a library where you can catch up on all things alpine.
Climate Neutrality No Sweat
The building was also designed with an eye on climate protection - no moisture-sucking, electricity-guzzling air conditioning system was necessary. In fact, the DAV aims to be climate neutral by 2030, so here's to that!
The permanent exhibition on 120 square meters lights up the more than 200-year history of mountaineering, from its humble beginnings in the late 18th century as a predominantly scientific pursuit, through the ever-growing obsession with alpinism among folks, to the present day.
