Temporary exhibition: A tu per tu - Ritratti dalle collezioni The allure of the portrait as a representation of a subject captured in their essence, whether inner or symbolic, has not gone unnoticed by the Museum Society since the very beginning of its activity, recurring throughout its history: from 1896, the year of its first exhibition, to 1989, with the show Bozner Porträts von 1800 bis heute (Bolzano Portraits from 1800 to Today), and up to the portraits featured in the exhibition Altes Neues. Antico Nuovo, which between 2023 and 2024 enriched the final months of cultural offerings at the Civic Museum before its necessary closure to obtain fire safety certification. With the completion of the renovation works that brought the building up to current regulations, and while awaiting further structural interventions aimed at restoring the entire building, the Civic Museum resumes this fascination by presenting a temporary exhibition featuring a selection of works—some previously exhibited, others never before shown to the public due to recent restoration or recent acquisition. In respect of the rotation principle that the new displays will follow, the works, drawn from the Museum’s collections, were selected according to the portrait type, focusing along the exhibition path on four thematic areas: family portraits, individual portraits, portraits and self-portraits of artists, and portraits of figures with important roles in the city. Whether official representatives, rulers, or simply citizens, many of the depicted individuals have a specific historical connection to Bolzano; all bear witness to a particular era of the city, spanning, through an interesting variety of styles, a time period from the 16th century to the second half of the 20th century.

Europe’s largest monastery complex in Tirol/Tirolo. Founded in 1142 by the Bishop of Brixen/Bressanone at the intersection of two important routes - the Brenner and the route to the Pustertal valley - the Augustinian Neustift Canons Regular Monastery was recognized, among other things, as a hospice and rest area for pilgrims. Today the Monastery makes a name for itself as a place of agriculture, culture and education. From the monastery winery to the herb garden, from the electricity plant to the educational center, several businesses are united in the monastery. The Augustinian Neustift Canons Regular Monastery in Vahrn/Varna is the largest Monastery complex in Tirol/Tirolo. The Monastery has an holistic conception and was independent and versatile from its very foundation. A walk through the Monastery complex will let you understand its size and importance as a former important cultural and economic hub of the Eisacktal/Valle Isarco valley. The first thing that will catch your eye are the architectural elements: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. With the Engelsburg, the late Baroque collegiate church, the Gothic cloister, the miracle fountain, the library’s unique manuscripts and the historic Pinakothek, the Augustinian Neustift Canons Regular Monastery is one of the most remarkable sights of the Eisacktal valley.

Clowning at its finest with live music, unusual juggling, and a few more surprises. A multi-layered play in which the two clowns artfully and poetically turn the certainties of everyday life upside down – and repeatedly manage to free themselves from apparent mishaps in surprising, chaotically ingenious and at the same time clownishly naive ways.
Humorous entanglements around the really important things in the pre-Christmas and Christmas season, such as sharing joy, laughter, amazement and listening to the quiet moments – full of joyful anticipation of what will happen next. The audience is thus removed from the Christmas hustle and bustle for a string of quiet, tender and also powerful moments. May this magic have a profound effect and last as long as possible!
Bonifazius & Michelino (Austria) – the two couldn't be more different!
Loud and cheeky, cautious and haphazard, talkative and literal – they stumble right into a crazy, bizarre and festive story.
