THE MUSEUM
The museum was refounded in 1990 and reopened in 1995 in the former stables of the post office. The Civic Museum in Brunico had been first founded in 1912. During the fascistic period the museum was closed and most of the objects were brought to Bolzano. The new museum reobtained part of the artistic collection of the old Civic Museum, including sculptures and paintings of Michael and Friedrich Pacher. Also, the collection of modern graphics of local modern artists is also of great value for the museum. The museum has dedicated one section to the 'graphic and literature' of many modern writers and artists.
