The Venue
LUMEN – Museum of Mountain Photography is located in Plan de Corones in the Dolomites and housed inside the former cableway station, at a height of 2,275 meters.
This Museum is strongly connected with the theme of the mountain, subject to analysis and dissemination, through an interdisciplinary approach: mountaineering, history and nature are some of the filters through which the collection is presented to visitors, who are therefore allowed to get closer to these topics. The exhibition itinerary includes a historical section about mountain photography, from the beginning to contemporary times and there is also a permanent exhibition dedicated to Reinhold Messner, along with temporary exhibitions in the form of multimedia installations. Furthermore, LUMEN – Museum of Mountain Photography every year invites Italian and international photographers to represent the natural context of the Dolomites through their works.
