Hohe Tauern National Park: "Between Heaven and Earth"

“What are Alps and what do people do there?” – the exhibitionwill answer this and other questions. Providing an insight intothe life of people living in the Alps, the exposition deals withecological relationships, influences and problems.
“Between Heaven and Earth” focuses on the relationship between man and nature, particularly through the use of natural resources in the course of mountain agriculture. Unlike its 'big siblings' in North America, from where the national park idea inspired the whole world at the end of the 19th century, the Hohe Tauern National Park was not created far from civilization. The last high mountain wilderness in the Alps was embedded in a grown cultural landscape many centuries before it was placed under protection.

The national park administration invested around € 800,000 in the redesign of an already popular 'open-air museum', conceived by the exhibition planner and architect Andreas Zangl, which the Hüttschlag National Park Association has successfully operated for many years. In national park management, environmental education is seen as an objective of equal value to the protection of natural and cultural landscapes. The exhibition 'Between Heaven and Earth' not only closes a gap in the national park's exhibition portfolio, but also deals for the first time with the relationship between humans and nature as a living, working and economic space.

From the insects and butterflies, which depend on the cultivation of the flower meadows, to the variety of domestic breeds of domestic animals, to the emotions that people associate with the alpine pastures and the alpine summer, everything is addressed in this modern adventure exhibition. There are also so many limits in the harmonious coexistence of man and nature - because where man uses nature for his needs, the danger of overuse and overuse can quickly arise.
