Exhibition calendar 2019-2020

Visions and exhibitions on the roof of the Alps

The art and culture gallery at 2,778 meters above sea level focuses on the mountains and presents the calendar of the upcoming exhibitions,
from December 2019 to October 2020 

From the North Pole to the Dolomites and up to the K2, a structured sequence unfolds from one exhibition to the other. 
In the midst of an exceptional landscape at an altitude of 2,778 meters, during the coming months it will be possible to discover what is occurring around and on the mountains. For the mountains are a cultural archetype, but above all a natural, valuable outpost due to their biodiversity, which has become fragile by cause of climate change.

The exhibition rooms Lagazuoi Expo Dolomiti can be easily reached with the Lagazuoi cable car from the Falzarego pass.
They are open daily from 9a.m. to 4.40 p.m., the entrance is free. 

PolarQuest: December 2019 / January 2020

About a year ago, after 1500 miles travelled in 18 days of navigation, the PolarQuest expedition ended.
A record-breaking trip that will be narrated in images at Lagazuoi Expo Dolomiti with a series of “extreme” shots taken by PolarQuest in the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth to examine the consequences of pollution and raise awareness of what is happening on a global scale. 

For the first time ever, the expedition team sampled micro-plastic particles and measured cosmic rays penetrating into the edge of the sea ice pack at the record-latitude 82° 07' North. 

The exhibition curated by PolarQuest2018 and CRS4 CRS4 - Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia. 
Supporter: DocLive
Project and design of the exhibition:  Emanuela Falqui (CRS4)

K2: September / October 2020

The exhibition tells the story of the Italian and Pakistani expedition, which in 2014 paid tribute to the Italian first ascent of the K2, sixty years after the venture. 
A special tribute to a member of Cortina's famous climbing guild "Scoiattoli" (Squirrel), Lino Lacedelli, who, after the K2 adventure in 1954, became one of the founding members of the Lagazuoi company.

Two different ways to to describe a common "obsession", tK2. 
The Sky journalist Daniele Moretti and the photographer Matteo Zanga undertook an expedition to K2 and returned home with a footage of very great interest. 
In addition, SkyTg24 has produced a 46-minute short film, "K2 - Un urlo dalla vetta" (Cheers from the summit), documenting an expedition undertaken in 2014, when, for the first time ever, 8 Pakistani men attempted the summit. 
And with them, only two Italian mountaineers to give support: the mountain guide Michael Cucchi and the several-times-champion of speed skiing Simone Origone  The shots at high altitude of the last few days were realized by Daniele Nardi, the mountaineer who died in 2019 on the Nanga Parbat. 
The photo gallery and the documentary are extraordinary records made available to the public by Lagazuoi Expo Dolomiti.
