This topic will be the focus of our staircase exhibition starting April 1st.
This unique exhibition offers a visionary investigation of how travelling might develop and grow in the 21st century and beyond.
Using AI images and illustrations, the Touriseum offers a glimpse into the future of travelling. This uncertain future comes to life, prompting reflection and even dreaming. Let yourself be inspired as you explore the possibilities and challenges of the coming age of travel.
“The Future of Travelling” presents a collection of creative short texts and their artistic interpretations that will challenge the limits of our imagination. From hypermodern means of transport to sustainable travel options and virtual travel experiences, the exhibition explores a variety of themes that might shape travelling in the coming decades.
Michael Höllrigl’s expressive stone and bronze sculptures will adorn the gardens of the Kränzelhof in 2025, true to his motto “The hand knows more than the head.” “Letting you dream on and on” is the goal of the sculpture exhibition.
Whether it’s nearly untouched wilderness or an enchanting cultural landscape, gardens represent the longing for paradise: Tamed nature and untamed inner worlds meet and perhaps grow together. In a place shaped by the interplay of nature and culture, like the Kränzelhof, the things of nature and the things of art point to each other in a way that echoes Joseph von Eichendorff’s immortal line from the poem “Wünschelrute”: “A song sleeps in all things, which dream on and on...”

The LanAntiqua Festival, organised by the LanAntiqua Association, aims to give "early music", which is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, its deserved place in the cultural life of Lana. This music, which is not limited to any epoch, covers the periods from the Middle Ages to Romanticism.
The festival's highest maxim is: original sound, i.e. the performance of the music in an appropriate sound setting on instruments of the period and with the knowledge gained from the historical performance practice handed down in treatises. Thanks to imposing venues such as the church Maria Himmelfahrt in Niederlana with its impressive altar by Hans Schnatterpeck and its special acoustics, top-class concert enjoyment is pre-programmed.
Vocal and instrumental works as well as solo and chamber music contributions will be performed. The spectrum ranges from baroque music to classical and romantic music to compositions of our time.
"Testa d'argilla" is an “open work,” shaped by chance and time, which mold its form and meaning.
The sculpture, made from raw clay, reflects the human condition, its identity, and its relationship with the external environment. The sun, wind, and rain will gradually wear away the work, returning it to the earth. In doing so, it will not only stimulate reflection on human existence in nature, but also raise the question of the necessity and permanence of monuments in public spaces.
During LanaLive, the artist from Mantua, Roberta Busato, will erect her Testa d'argilla in the garden of the nursing home and then allow it to naturally decompose.

Take care of your health by slowing down and reducing stress: relaxation exercises have been shown to increase physical and mental wellbeing.
One way is the Jacobson relaxation technique, known as progressive muscle relaxation. The technique is an easy and quickly learned method that helps to relieve tension brought about by stress and overexertion. Untreated, under certain circumstances these tensions can result in back, muscle and head pains, stomach and bowel problems and a range of mental stress symptoms such as sleep and anxiety disorders, depression and even burnout.
The Jacobson Method helps us learn to prevent such problems and better deal with damage that has already been done. Relaxation exercises have other benefits too: the body secretes fewer stress hormones, breathing becomes more even, the blood pressure falls and the heart beats more steadily. And the psyche benefits too: physical tensions are reduced and the body regains its natural equilibrium, thus increasing mental wellbeing. Stresses and strains brought about by anxiety, worries and pain diminish.
