Museums

The permanent exhibition in the historic living spaces of the museum provides insight into the everyday life of a bourgeois household in Neumarkt during the 19th and 20th centuries. Furniture and everyday objects are arranged as if the house were still inhabited. The diversity of the collection is thanks to the passionate work of Mrs. Anna Grandi Müller, who lovingly assembled it over decades.

The Kunstforum Unterland was founded in 1997 to provide artists from various disciplines with a platform for exhibitions and to bring both local and contemporary art from other regions to South Tyrol. A strong focus is placed on art education to raise awareness of current artistic trends among the population. Through ongoing exhibitions, readings, and panel discussions, the forum has established itself as a key institution in South Tyrol's art and cultural scene. Each year, a committee selects six artists whose works are showcased in a high-quality and well-curated program.

The Museum Of People Through Time shows vividly the life of people in the different epochs, from the Stone Age up to modern times. More than 6,000 selected exhibits make 12,000 years of history come alive. The museum shows South Tyrolean history in an exciting way.Unique rarities, animations, experiments and a large spectrum of exhibits make the visit to the museum an adventure. An educational guide, experiments and multimedia animation bring the objects to life and beam you into the past.

Between Aldein and Radein, the Bletterbach has carved one of the most impressive and geologically fascinating canyons in South Tyrol and Europe. The approximately three-kilometer-long, walkable canyon offers spectacular views of volcanic and sedimentary rock formations. The GEO Museum Radein showcases the most important finds from the GEOPARC Bletterbach. Whether as a preparation or a deeper exploration after visiting the gorge, the museum provides fascinating insights into geological history. Fossils, dinosaur footprints, and millions-of-years-old rock layers vividly illustrate the Earth’s development.

The Museum of Aldein is not a traditional village museum. Instead of agricultural or craft tools, you will find an extraordinary collection of sacred artworks from the Baroque and Rococo periods. The abundance and artistic quality of the exhibits amaze not only visitors but also experts. Particularly impressive are the magnificent liturgical objects and vestments, as well as the variety of reliquaries and painted panels. A highlight of the collection is a Baroque chalice crafted in Augsburg in 1750 – a masterpiece that captivates with its beauty in both form and material.

For a long time Aldino was a remote mountain village on Monte Regolo, the inhabitants were largely subsistence farmers. They built numerous mills and other pieces of equipment for processing grain. When a road to Aldino was built in the 1950s more and more farmers found lucrative work outside the village, and the mills and equipment were left to lie fallow and became derelict over time. To ensure that this rural tradition is not completely forgotten the museum association Aldino repaired them, restored several mills and now displays them to the public. Using only the power of water our mills Thalmühle, Matznellermühle, the water forge and the Venetian saw are still operated today as they were then.

The Trudner Horn Nature Park Visitor Center, located just a few minutes' walk from the village center of Truden, presents the park’s remarkable biodiversity under the motto "Making the hidden visible." In addition to geological and natural highlights such as moors, hedgerows, and larch meadows, a unique attraction is the fully functional three-story elevator mill from 1948–49, which is regularly used during summer grain milling days.
