Messner Mountain Museum in the Clouds on Monte Rite, Italy
The Museum in the Clouds is one of the six Messner Mountain Museums in Italy. Built in a renovated World War I-era fort, the collection here focuses on the early history of climbers ascending the peaks of the Dolomites mountain range. Reinhold Messner, the still-active climber for whom these museums are named, favors the alpine style of mountaineering—using as little gear and as little assistance as possible.
