The most unusual museum in the world is dedicated to the mountaineer Messner

The Mountain Museum Corones is dedicated to the living legend among alpinists Reinhold Messner.

How to commemorate the greatness of the man who was the first man to conquer all eight thousand people and the first to climb to the roof of the world without supplemental oxygen? With a book? Maybe a documentary? Reinhold Messner already has all this, but now a museum has been dedicated to this legendary Italian alpinist from South Tyrol in the Italian Alps. It was "curved" by Zaha Hadid, the famous British-Iranian architect, who placed it on top of the mountain.

The most unusual museum in the world Mountain Museum Corones, which is dedicated to mountaineer Reinhold Messner, to the first man who is conquered Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, you will search in vain in some street, because it is a high mountain museum which lies at 2,275 meters above sea level in a popular ski area Kronplatz. Under the architecture that is placed on top of the mountain and is captured and underlined the dynamics of the surroundings, signed by the world-famous architect Zahi Hadid. This equipped the modern design at the top of the ski slope with underground galleries and a viewing point, which takes your breath away.

The interior of the museum is raw, as was the harsh environment in which Messner climbed, visitors who have admission to the museum from the end of July, and continues through the underground (larger part of the building is covered with rock therefore it maintains a constant temperature), and only then do they reach the view, which the famous 70-year-old mountaineer had countless times in his life. The museum was being built two years, and Messner had the main word in the design of museum spaces.
