Alpineum Hinterstoder

The Alpineum, as a modern, award-winning exhibition house, is worth a visit at any time of the year.

You will receive background information about the history of the Stodertal, the life-threatening work of the woodcutters, the alpine exploration history of the Toten Gebirge, and the development of skiing from its beginnings to the World Cup.

The modern museum building – constructed in 1998 – already hints from the outside that no dusty "local museum" awaits visitors here, but rather historical and current videos and acoustic effects. Establishing connections from the past to the present is the fundamental concept of the Alpineum, with its extremely extensive collection of historical and contemporary exhibits. In an entertaining manner, the past comes alive through engaging text and imagery, making it an experience for the visitor. Prepare to be surprised.

By the way, the Alpineum was awarded one of the best exhibition venues in Europe at the "Museum of the Year Award 2000." In addition to the permanent exhibition, the Alpineum consistently surprises with successful special exhibitions on a variety of themes.

ALPINE MOMENTS
In the footsteps of E.T. Compton

Photography and painting by Michael Zacek

Michael Zacek captures the archaic impact of nature in a mood-setting and technically refined manner. He personally explores all the shown motifs and initially captures the mountain world with his camera. Through intensive refinement with strong texture and color application, he recaptures the three-dimensionality. The resulting spatial "real view" makes his works appear deep and vibrant. On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of E.T. Compton's birth, Michael Zacek follows in the footsteps and motifs of the alpine painter.
