The Museion (from the greek μουσείον, meaning the temple of the muses) is the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bozen, in South Tyrol, Italy. It was founded in 1985. Since 2006 it has been managed by the Museion Foundation, founded by the Autonomous Province Bozen and the Museion Association. On 24 May 2008 the Museion opened to the public its new venue, built by the KSV - Krüger Schuberth Vandreike architects in the center of Bolzano.
The Museion currently holds 4500 works of art, both from international and local artists, which are exhibited according to a theme-based rotation. Acquisitions often are made after temporary exhibitions. The displays of works of art in the collection are curated also by artists. In recent years most acquisitions by the Museion have come from exhibitions on contemporary sculpture, and particularly by artists that conceive sculpture as a way to establish relationships between objects and spaces. During the opening of an exhibition by the American sculptor Carl Andre, the director of the Museion Letizia Ragaglia has declared: The sculptures by Carl Andre are not objects meant to be contemplated, but a place to live in, where you can move, have experiences, and establish relationships through physical contact.
The main building of the Museion is a cube measuring 54 metres long, 25 metres high and 23 metres wide, with transparent front and rear façades. The building is a physical and symbolic link between the two parts of the city of Bozen. Created in 2003, the Piccolo Museion – Cubo Garutti is a work by Alberto Garutti. Located in Via Sassari 17b, it functions as an outlying venue for Museion in the Don Bosco neighbourhood of Bolzano.
Since its opening, the Museion has focused its programme on research across diverse forms of artistic expressions, and has tried to develop close relationships with artists. During the years the Museion has produced exhibition on the works of artists such as Sonic Youth, Mike Kelley, Rosemarie Trockel, Carl Andre, Danh Vo, and Martino Gamper.

The Museion (Bolzano)
This is just to say that there are Germans and Italians and they haven't always gotten along. A new museum, the Museion is opening in major city of Bolzano that both in its collection and design attempts to finally patch its rather tumultuous history. The general focus of the museum collection is language in art and with language being a significant wedge in the community; this could not have been accidental.

Nel cuore dell’Alto Adige, circondato dalle vette del Catinaccio, sorge Museion – museo d’arte moderna e contemporanea di Bolzano. Un’architettura futuristica, giocata su trasparenza e fluidità, accoglie il museo nella sede disegnata dallo studio KSV di Berlino. Grazie a un programma mostre coraggioso e di respiro internazionale, che ha portato, spesso in prima nazionale, le posizioni più forti della scena artistica attuale, Museion si è affermato tra i maggiori musei d’arte contemporanea in Italia e nell’area alpina.

Im Herzen Südtirols, mit Blick auf den Rosengarten im Dolomitengebiet, steht das Museion – Museum für moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst in Bozen. Seit 2008 ist das Museum in einer von Offenheit und Transparenz geprägten futuristischen Architektur untergebracht. Geplant wurde das lichtdurchflutete Gebäude vom Berliner Architekturbüro KSV. Dank eines couragierten Ausstellungsprogramms mit internationaler Ausrichtung, das – häufig als italienische Premiere – die ausdrucksstärksten Positionen aus der aktuellen Kunstszene nach Südtirol geholt hat, gehört das Museion in Italien und im Alpenraum zu den wichtigsten Museen für Gegenwartskunst.

Museion, Bolzano's museum of modern and contemporary art, lies in the heart of South Tyrol, with a view across the peaks of the Rosengarten massif. Since 2008 it has occupied its new venue, designed by the Berlin firm KSV: a striking piece of futuristic architecture inspired by the concepts of transparency and fluidity. Thanks to a bold, international exhibition programme that presents the latest and greatest in contemporary art, often for the first time in Italy, Museion has made a name for itself as one of the leading contemporary art museums in the Alpine area, and Italy as a whole.

Museion: -2+3 The Museion Collection, Part 1
| -2+3 at the Museion, the Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art in Bolzan (Bozen) / Italy, is an quite extraordinary exhibition. The show has been conceived by the two Italian artists Stefano Arienti and Massimo Bartolini and presents the museum's collection. For the exhibition, more than 1,300 works have been moved from the basement archives (floors -2 and -1) to the exhibition space (floors +2 and +3).
More info:
Apart from the works themselves, the amount of works and especially their presentation is remarkable. After crossing a forest of sculptures on the second floor, the visitors encounter a labyrinth or array of rooms, created by an arrangement of the typical metal grid walls used in archives, on the third floor. On these walls, two-dimensional works are presented just like the are archived in the Museion's depot.
In this video, the first part of our coverage of the exhibition, the director of the Museion and curator of the exhibition -2+3, Letizia Ragaglia, talks about the basic idea and concept of the exhibition. In the second part that will be published tomorrow, the artists Stefano Arienti and Massimo Bartolini talk about their show.

To the Streets! - Piccolo Museion (Bolzano)
You might be walking in Via Sassari, in the formerly fascist quarter of Don Bosco in Bolzano, and find yourself facing a piece of art gracefully sitting inside Alberto Garutti's Piccolo Museion. It is a non-white cube - in fact, it is a transparent one - allowing people in the once popular district to enjoy the bigger Museion's collection without leaving their neighborhood.

Bozen ( Italian Bolzano , Ladin Bulsan or Balsan ) is the capital of South Tyrol , an autonomous province in Italy , and as such seat of the state government and the state parliament . Since 1948, the city has been a supraregional trade fair location , since 1964 bishop of the newly created Diocese of Bolzano-Bressanone , since 1997 also a university town with the Free University of Bolzano .
Bozen is considered one of the major urban centers in the Alpine region and, due to its biculturality, is considered an important meeting place between the German and the Italian-speaking cultural and economic areas.
The city of Bolzano is centrally located in the south of South Tyrol and covers an area of 52.3 km ², of which only 28 km ² are used as a permanent settlement area. Dense urban development accounts for the largest share of this settlement area. Bolzano is located in a basin , which is surrounded on three sides by high mountain ranges, at the meeting of Etsch Valley , Eisack Valley and Sarntal and the rivers Etsch , Eisack and Talfer . At this point, the Alpine crossings of the upper Adige Valley and the Eisacktalfurche, which through historical trade routes to the Reschenpass and to the Brenner pass forkslead the city into the center of a national road network. Until 1911, the city of Bolzano was limited to a relatively small area east of the Talfer, which is why the city is still known by the local population as Talferstadt .
Bolzano is divided into five districts, which in turn comprise several historic districts and formerly independent municipalities. The historic town of Bolzano stretched until 1910 on an area between Talfer and Eisack or between Zollstange and Wangergasse, with about 45% of the total population lived in the cramped old town area. This area has been absorbed into the district center-Bozner Boden-Rentsch , which occupies within the present city limits rather a peripheral situation in the northeast. Part of this district is the formerly independent rural community Zwölfmalgreien , which was incorporated in 1911. The same happened to the former rural community Gries, which was incorporated in 1925 Bolzano and today in the district Gries-Quireinin the north lies. Both Zwölfmalgreien and Gries have remained in the present but their own cadastral communities .
Geographically in the center of today's urban area of Bolzano lies Europa-Neustift , the smallest of the Bolzano neighborhoods. To the east of it extends the Don Bosco district , which was created together with Europa-Neustift in the soft spot of Gries. On the other side of the Eisack to the south, the district of Oberau-Haslach spreads , which formerly belonged to the municipality Zwölfmalgreien and includes the districts Haslach, Oberau and St. Jakob-Unterau with the so-called Grutzen.

The renowned Arcades, Via dei Portici with its arcades begins at the western side of Town Hall Square. This is definitely one of the most visited streets of the town. Not only are the Arcades the heart of commercial life in Bolzano, but they are also regarded as one of the best known shopping centres, thanks to the uninterrupted sequence of elegant, traditional and modern shops with their particularly attractive windows.
The town of Bolzano was founded around 1180 AD. Its first street, the Lauben-Gasse or Arcaded Street, has remained the pulsating centre of the flourishing trading town. It runs for 300 metres from east to west. The Arcades, once Bolzano's only street, came into being all at once. The prince bishop of Trento provided the building ground (former venyards), awarded the intentionally narrow buildings plots to tradesmen and craftsmen, and gave exact instructions as to how they were to be developed.
The new town consisted of the Episcopal administrative seat in the present-day Korn-Platz and the houses beneath the arcades. It lay along the Emperors' Route from Brennero to Rome, which Holy Roman Emperors travelled along on their way to the crowned in the eternal city. On they northern side the houses of the arcades abutted the old town wall built in 1277 by Count Meinhard II of Tyrol, while the present day Silber Gasse (Argentieri road) was on the southern side comprising two towers, a wall and defensive ditch.
The street was entered at both ends by a gate. Market women sold fruit and vegetables in front of the Upper Gate, the present day Fruit Market (Obstmarkt), from 1180. Initially the Romanesque-style houses were single-storey with an arched stone portico in front. The ground floor had to be built of stone; the upstairs floor could be timber-framed. However, after several devastating fires the first floor also had to be built of stone with an arched ceiling. On the street side the cellar area was often three levels deep, though only one at the rear.
A water channel called the Ritsch, diverted from the River Talvera, ran along the southern side of the street. A typical house beneath the arcades is only four strides (four yards) wide, 50 metres deep and consists of a section facing the street, plus a central and rear section separated by atriums. The houses are packed together with a space of around one foot required for the statics of the Romanesque stone walls, visible in the passageway to the Troilo house, from the arcades side (no. 51) to the Silber-Gasse (Argentieri road).

Italienische und österreichische Lebensart prägen die Stadt in Südtirol.Die Südtiroler Landeshauptstadt Bozen liegt auf einer der wichtigsten Verbindungsstrecken zwischen Nord- und Südeuropa - zwischen Nordsee und Mittelmeer - im Süden der Alpen, im Norden Italiens - inmitten einmalig schöner Naturlandschaften. In der Stadt selbst locken viele gemütliche Restaurants mit dem Besten aus der italienischen und österreichischen Küchentradition. euromaxx startet den Stadtbummel auf dem Waltherplatz, der dem Minnesänger Walther von der Vogelweide gewidmet ist. Über die historische Altstadt - die Lauben - und den Wochenmarkt, den sogenannten Obstmarkt, geht es weiter zur Weinprobe in einen der vielen Delikatessläden. In Bozen treffen zwei Kulturen aufeinander die österreichische und die italienische und damit auch das Beste beider Genusstraditionen. Auch kulturell hat die Stadt einiges zu bieten: Im Südtiroler Aräologiemuseum etwa, ist die berühmte - 5.300 Jahre alte - Gletschermumie Ötzi ausgestellt. Es gibt eine lebhafte Theater- und Musikszene und vergangenes Jahr wurde das Museion ein Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst eröffnet. Rund 100.000 Menschen leben in Bozen - ein Drittel der Einwohner sind deutschsprachig, zwei Drittel sprechen italienisch.

A MATTER OF INTERPRETATION
The art of understanding. #storiesfromsouthtyrol
Letizia Ragaglia is the director of Museion, the museum of modern and contemporary art in Bolzano/Bozen. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone else in South Tyrol who communicates contemporary art so vibrantly and passionately as she.
For Letizia Ragaglia art is a means of expression, a language. And the Museion director can really handle languages. Like many others Letizia Ragaglia belongs to that group of “new” South Tyroleans who have grown up fully bilingual: She spoke Italian with her father while German is her mother’s native language. From the time she was very young she spoke both languages, attended both German and Italian schools and later lived in France for a time. German, Italian, English, French – and the arts: in dialogue with people, artists and artwork, Ragaglia easily navigates between all possible languages.
Letizia Ragaglia grew up in Bolzano, South Tyrol’s “Italian” city. Nearly 80 percent of the city’s residents are native Italian speakers. The cityscape of South Tyrol’s capital is rich in contrast: The old city center is dominated by the German Gothic while Italian Bolzano, beyond the River Talfer, was created in the style of 1930s rationalism. Museion stands just at the intersection point where Italian Bolzano and German Bozen meet. It is a point of intersection between cultures, a spot where many languages are the norm.
