Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites

The Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites or the Museum in the Clouds sits on the summit of Monte Rite, in Cibiana di Cadore, with a breath-taking view over three valleys and two towering Dolomite peaks. The museum has been carved out of what was once a mountain fort in a location of extraordinary peace and quiet. Inside, the museum tells the story of the conquest of the Dolomites, their exploration and mountaineering history, through paintings from the Reinold Messner collection - a voyage of discovery in the Dolomites from the Romantic Movement to contemporary art. This former fort has been transformed into a museum that tells a fascinating story of human passions and human history in a stunning, totally unique setting.

The Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites is currently closed and it can only be visited during the summer months. For more information www.messner-mountain-museum.it .
