Museo Nazionale della Montagna: 150 anni di dialogo tra città e montagna

Established in 1874, the Museo Nazionale della Montagna in Turin, situated on Monte dei Cappuccini, seeks to redefine the connection between urban areas and mountains. Daniela Berta, the director, emphasizes the museum's extensive collection, which includes over 500,000 items from the CAI, an organization founded by Quintino Sella in 1863. Recent exhibitions featured "Qui c'è un mondo fantastico," "Tree Time" (2019, held at MUSE in Trento), and "Ecophilia." The upcoming exhibition, "Rock the Mountain!" in Bilbao, pays tribute to alpinist Walter Bonatti. The museum prioritizes sustainability through the use of recycled materials and innovative partnerships. Additionally, it manages the International Mountain Museums Alliance (IMMA) and the International Alliance for Mountain Film (IAMF), while enhancing accessibility with digital projects like the iAlp portal and a virtual catalog for "Tree Time."
