Nature changes. Continuously. Globally and in detail. From one season to the next. Over the course of centuries. Lately observable with the naked eye. Even artist Nora Gutwenger, who recently returned from Vienna to live in the Pustertal valley, realized this. Instead of the wooded slopes she was used to, she is now surrounded by bare slopes. Who changed nature? The bark beetle? Or is man at the origin of this change? What characterizes an almost natural forest? In Angelika Wischermann's works, it is the artist herself who changes nature. Unlike most human interventions, however, the artist proceeds very carefully. She observes the branching network of paths of a forest ant colony for a long time before doing small works with her infrastructure project to make life easier for the insects. In the exhibition space, artistic research processes can be experienced through drawings, textile works and a video. You are also cordially invited to explore the theme in a reading corner.

The fossil museum is designed as an outdoor museum and is accessible to interested visitors at any time and explains itself by means of texts and audio stations.
A guided tour for a group of the museum with one of our local experts is highly recommended. Booking is possible by means of direct requests to the tourist office: info@moelten.net
It is now a long time – 260 million years – since trees resembling today’s araucaria grew in Mölten/Meltina. The ginkgos produced feathery leaves, while tree-high horsetails stood between the village of Mölten/Meltina and the Möltner Kaser hut. It is astonishing that clearly identifiable forms of these South Tyrolean primeval forests remain: trees fell into the riverbank or were carried along by the current, embedded in sand and finally transformed into fossils.
They can now be seen in the Fossil Museum, which was revitalised in 2023 and designed as an outdoor exhibition. It shows the best of the finds from the area around Mölten/Meltina. Particularly noteworthy are the fossil tree and plant remains, some 260 million years old, as well as the footprints of a small reptile.
What is special about the fossils in Mölten/Meltina? There are only three places in South Tyrol where plant fossils from the Late Permian have been recovered: the Bletterbach Gorge; Seceda; and Mölten/Meltina. The finds from Mölten/Meltina are the only ones that reveal entire trees. Details of their growth, their branches, roots and size are all clearly visible, which makes it possible to reconstruct entire forests.
The Fossil Museum has a fully equipped multifunctional room that can be hired for events for up to 30 people.

During the Advent season and until the end of January 2025, the Christmas works of Martha Kainz can be admired in the Women's Museum as part of a small exhibition. Martha Kainz from St. Walburg in Ulten has been making handicrafts in the ‘tradition of convent work’ for 25 years.
Ar/Ge Kunst presents À JOUR, the first institutional exhibition of the work of Clemen Parrocchetti (Milan 1923–2016). A rebellious and non-conformist artist, Clemen Parrocchetti experienced the events of 1968 as a watershed moment of radical creative and political transformation. It was in those years of feminist struggle that the artist adopted the tools and methods of housework to take a political stance on the issues most hotly debated on a theoretical level within the movement, such as the subordinate role of women, abortion and divorce as elements of emancipation, domestic violence and sexual liberation.
The peculiarity of domestic chores in Parrocchetti’s works reflects the artist’s closeness to the International Feminist Collective founded in Padua by theorists such as Silvia Federici, Mariarosa Dalla Costa and Leopoldina Fortunati. Among its many political actions, the Collective instituted the International Wages for Housework Campaign. This latter theme was also central to the Varese-based Gruppo Immagine featuring women artists only (Cibaldi, Gandini, Parrocchetti, Secol and Sironi), which Parrocchetti joined in ’78 and with which she would take part in the Venice Biennale that same year.
The exhibition focuses largely on Parrocchetti’s works form the 1970s. À jour, the work which provides the title for the show, exploits the various meanings of the term in French, referencing the embroidery technique performed by extracting threads from the weft of a fabric in such a way as to create a slight transparency, also known as openwork stitching in English. Yet mettre à jour also means to make something manifest; in this case, what is brought to light is the very condition of women in their struggle against patriarchal subordination. But à jour is also used in the sense of the repetitiveness of female household chores, highlighting the barriers that the female artist must overcome day after day.
Clemen Parrocchetti (1923–2016) lived and worked in Milan. After gaining a diploma from the Brera Academy in 1957, she held more than fifty solo shows in Italy and abroad, developing original research with its own strong character, embracing the spirit of the protests of ’68 and founding a feminist language “expressed through objects”, in line with the political outlook of the revendication of the unpaid work of production and reproduction carried out by women, close to the Movement of Feminist Struggle based in Padua.
Ernst Müller, born and raised in Vinschgau, draws his artistic inspiration from deep-rooted childhood memories. The self-taught artist and trained coachbuilder began painting at the age of thirteen and over the decades has developed into an important chronicler of the South Tyrolean cultural landscape.
Influenced by the precise observation of classical masters such as Albin Egger Lienz, Toulouse-Lautrec and Claude Monet, Müller initially created scenes of everyday rural life, later devoting himself mainly to picturesque farmsteads and landscapes, which are now considered his trademark. The nostalgia that has accompanied the artist since childhood is omnipresent in his oil paintings. The artist captures the magic of the South Tyrolean mountains with vibrant colours and impasto structures that transport the viewer to a world of the past. Many of the farms he portrays no longer exist, which gives his paintings not only artistic but also documentary value.
Under the title AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS, Museion is exhibiting over 150 works by more than 80 artists from one of the most visionary and significant private collections of international contemporary art in Italy: the Enea Righi Collection. Thanks to a longstanding, trustful relationship, this collection has shaped Museion’s research into transdisciplinary, poetic, and socio-politically engaged artistic practices for over a decade.
It features a wide range of art works, architectural designs, and artists’ books by renowned international artists and collectives such as Massimo Bartolini, Alighiero Boetti, Anna Boghiguian, Trisha Donnelly, Theaster Gates, Nan Goldin, Marisa Merz, Sturtevant, Superstudio, Walid Raad, Franz Erhard Walther, Lawrence Weiner, Akram Zaatari, and many more. The exceptional nature of the exhibition is evident in the fact that it occupies the entire building and features the first showing of several recent acquisitions to the collection, including works by Sonia Boyce, Roni Horn, and Ser Serpas.
At the heart of the works in the Enea Righi Collection is the human being with all its hidden truths and emotions, its intimacy and relationships with others, its self-perception and its perception from the outside.
The title AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS is borrowed from the writing of Virginia Woolf, in which human life unfolds as a testament to its fluidity, brimming with potential and uncertainty. Her characters delicately hover between presence and impending absence, grappling with the memory of events and conflicts that prove elusive to full comprehension. The title therefore hints at the various thresholds between remembering and forgetting and the recurring acts of opening and closing doors on the continuous human journey of becoming. As such, the exhibition traces the intimate connections between life itself and the stories we tell, between what was and what remains physically perceptible. Above all, it highlights the collectors’ understanding of the transformative power of art by providing profound insights into life’s fluidity.
The works selected for AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS encourage viewers to ponder the transitional spaces of contemporary existence, where socio-political tensions intertwine with artistic expression. Throughout their artistic and sometimes activist work, artists such as Lisetta Carmi, Nan Goldin, and Zoe Leonard have emphasized the fluid nature of identity by regarding bodies as open systems in a permanent exchange with the environment. The works of Giulia Cenci, Jef Geys, Roman Ondak, Tarik Kiswanson and Bronwyn Katz are just a few examples of how doors, and windows recur in the exhibition as potent motifs that frame the human body as well as marking transitions and thresholds. Objects from daily life, urban architecture, and public décor – like Alex Ayed’s sculptures or Michael E. Smith or Massimo Bartolini’s installations – are relocated and reframed by the artists to compose new narratives and weave unexpected connections between geographies and memories.
Curated by Museion director Bart van der Heide, Frida Carazzato, Brita Köhler, and Leonie Radine, in collaboration with the collector Lorenzo Paini, the exhibition showcases a significant part of the Enea Righi Collection. Over the years, this collection has not only followed the artistic evolution of renowned conceptual positions, it has also embraced and supported a younger generation of artists. Another defining characteristic of the collection is its affinity for works of an institutional scale.
