South Tyrol Museum of Mining – Location Steinhaus/Cadipietra

Klausbergstr. 103
39030 Steinhaus/Ahrntal valley
General description

A hidden gem in the heart of the Ahrntal valley

Copper was mined in Prettau for over half a millennium. The administrative centre of this mining operation was located in Steinhaus/Cadipietra– and today, the historic grain store (Kornkasten) houses the South Tyrolean Mining Museum – Steinhaus site.

This museum is more than just a place of historical memory – it’s also a space for artistic expression and interpretation:

The photographic work of Walter Niedermayr connects the miners’ landscape with the themes of the exhibition.
Martin Pohl’s striking installation welcomes visitors at the entrance with a powerful representation of Prettau’s coveted copper ore.
The films and soundscapes by Carmen Tartarotti offer a sensitive portrayal of lives shaped by mining, breathing life into the objects on display.

Temporary exhibitions on art, crafts and music further enrich the museum’s varied and vibrant cultural offerings.
