Back home, therefore, remained the elderly, children and women, the latter had to take on the previous duties of their fighting men in addition to their former duties. The vast majority of women exposed to the hardships of the workers’ fate and women were now increasingly used as “men substitute”. Is it therefore not understandable that it is the women of the First World War who emerged with strengthened faith in themself and rightly hoped that through their efforts a huge step towards equal rights and recognition would be made. In many ways, the hopes of the women, however, should not ultimately be fulfilled… Exhibitions » Guided tours for groups on request, outside opening hours too. » Entrance fee: adults € 4,50, senior citizens, GuestCard, students € 4,00.

Special exhibition 2015: “War and Tourism“ till NOV 15th MON-SUN, 9.00 a.m.-7.00 p.m. In 1915, Tyrol that was a recreation area and the “southern balcony of the Habsburg Monarchy” was turned into a theater of war: barbed wire and military barracks lined the former excursion- and mountaineering -targets from mount Ortles to the Dolomites. Hotels, guest houses and shelters emptied abruptly. In the hinterland, spa and tourism places were quickly turned into military hospital cities. Hoteliers and hosts whose homes were in the line of fire, lost what they had painstakingly built in decades of work, overnight. After the First World War, the war paths of the Dolomites, became a boost for an amazingly fast resurging tourism. The special exhibition in the Touriseum places the influence of the First World War on the development of tourism in the center. How did the war and tourism interact? What is the impact of the First World War on tourism in areas such like Merano or the Dolomites to today? Exhibition: Ricette d’Artista - Zwischen Kunst und Küche APR 24th-JUN 14th TUES-SUN, 10.00 a.m.-6.00 p.m. This exhibition inspired on the event series „Foodie Factory“ goes between art and cuisine.

Das Werk soll zur Reflexion über die Verbindung zwischen Kunst und handwerklicher Produktion anregen. „The Seed“ wird vom Künstler ab Mitte März vor Ort gestaltet und am 31. März enthüllt. Die Arbeit „Kelch“ besteht aus drei Großobjekten, die Blütenkelchen nachempfunden sind. Auf einem Metallgerippe ruht jeweils ein trichterförmiges Geflecht aus Kokosfasern, das mit einem Stiel aus Holz versehen ist. Die Arbeit wird vom Künstler ab Mitte März vor Ort gestaltet und Anfang April enthüllt. L’installazione The Seed rappresenta un contenitore a forma di cassa, decorato con materiale vegetale. L’opera vuole stimolare la riflessione sul rapporto tra arte e produzione artigianale. L’installazione viene allestita sul luogo dall’artista da metà marzo e presentata il 31 marzo. L’opera “Kelch” consiste in tre grandi oggetti modellati a calice. Su uno scheletro metallico poggia un intreccio a forma d’imbuto in fibra di cocco, dotato di uno stelo di legno. L’opera viene allestita dall’artista da metà marzo in loco e viene presentata a inizio aprile. His installation The Seed constitutes a box-like container decorated with plant materials. The work intends to encourage reflexion of the connection between art and handcrafted products. The Seed will be created by the artist on-site, and will be unveiled on 31 March. „Kelch“ consists of three large objects which recreate the calyx flower. Each one has a funnel shaped meshing made of coconut fiber set on a metal frame, with a wooden stem. „Kelch“ will be created on location from mid-March and will be unveiled at the start of April. » www.bobverschueren.net » www.roger-rigorth.de » Tourismusbüro Schenna | Ufficio turistico di Scena Tel. +39 0473 945669, [email protected], www.schenna.com » Tourismusverein Naturns | Ufficio turistico di Naturno Tel. +39 0473 666077, [email protected], www.naturns.it / 38 / / 39 / Vom 26.
