Sightseeing and guided tours in Bolzano/Bozen

From 1 April to the end of June, the Museum of Nature is showing macro photographs of insects by South Tyrolean photographer Ulrike Mitterstieler. Ulrike Mitterstieler, born in Bolzano in 1965 and raised in Fiè allo Sciliar, only discovered her passion for photography late in life. Her enthusiasm for insects, which has accompanied her since childhood, is combined with macro photography in order to visualise the hidden beauty and complexity of these small creatures. Her work enables viewers to recognise details that often remain hidden to the naked eye. The photographer was selected as part of the South Tyrol Nature Museum's Open Call, in which local artists were invited to submit works with a South Tyrolean connection. The aim of the project is to utilise the transitional area between the first and second floors of the museum with changing exhibitions and thus offer regional talent a platform. The current exhibition builds on the success of the previous presentation ‘Kontakt’ by Christian Passeri, which can be seen from January up to and including Sunday 30 March 2025. The exhibition invites visitors to experience the world of insects from a new perspective and discover the often overlooked beauty of these animals. It is accessible from 1 April to 29 June 2025 during the regular opening hours of the Nature Museum and is included in the admission price. Info: Tel. 0471 412964
