In February 1999 a tragic avalanche accident happened in the small mountain village of Galtür in Austria. Shortly after the event, 19-metre-high protective walls have been built around the small village, which also provide civil defence rooms, garages for mountain rescue services and above all the ‘Alpinarium’. An exhibition space for special ‘ART’. The combination of protective wall and exhibition spaces makes the Alpinarium Galtür and its architecture unique in Europe.
