South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology

Tucked in the Alpine city of Bolzano, the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology houses one of the most significant prehistoric discoveries: a Copper-Age mummy known as Ötzi. Preserved by the Alpine glaciers for 5,000 years, Ötzi is the museum’s main attraction. Visitors can explore his clothing and equipment, and view his remains, which are displayed in a sealed, temperature-controlled chamber. This small but world-class museum offers a unique glimpse into the life and times of this ancient figure, making it a compelling destination for history enthusiasts.
