The Contemporary Mountain, is the self definition for this unusual place.
I have visited Artesella (https://goo.gl/maps/ssiz54KMK4T2) at the end of April, and I want to share my experience with you.
Looking at the listing in Google Maps, this place is defined as an “Arts museum”. The definition is correct, but you have not to expect a classic museum, because there is not a building to “contain” the artwork, as the “container” is the mountain herself, and the sculptures are built in the nature, or “with the nature”, being in this way an integral part of the nature.
In fact, the visit is a walk in the woods, discovering, step by step, the natural sculptures.
The visit is surprising, and expecting the unexpected is the rule, in visiting this museum.
Without a specific indication (that is easy to find) feel free to touch, and also to enter, inside the sculptures.
How to reach Artesella:
The place can be easily reached by car. You have to park the car in a beautiful parking area, 1 Km before to reach the entrance of the Museum. The last Kilometer is a wonderful and easy walk in the nature.
A more interesting experience is to reach Artesella by train plus electric bike: you can reach Borgo Valsugana by train then, from there, you can rent an electric bike to reach the museum.
Where to stay:
In the area you will find a lot of beautiful Hotels, but also (my first choice) several B&B and farmhouses, to make your visit unforgettable.
