Do not miss this! The discovery of the iceman caused archaeologists to rethink the time of the onset of the copper age. His clothing and weapons are far more sophisticated than I imagined. How he died is a mystery and you are invited to draw your own conclusion.
Had not heard about the 'Ice Man" before but on a Riviera trip that included a trip to Bolzano the museum made a change from shops and churches. It was brilliant! So well done and informative and everything in English. We were so glad we went there. So worth it.
Fascinating place! You should go around THE museum definetely with a guide. Don't just look around And leave. There are many things to learn. It is So amazing to See a man from thousands of years ago.
Fascinating exhibit of the Ice Man discovered in Sept 1991. The museum exhibits are very well laid out.
What an interesting museum! We enjoyed it so much and couldn't stop talking about our experience for days. We felt it was an inspirational story of scientific cooperation and human curiosity. We walked though the entire museum and then went to see the mummy in the end of our tour, after learning about him from the fascinating exhibition. We highly recommend doing so, it felt pretty intense. So interesting!
We researched the story of how they found the iceman and how he ended up in Bolzano instead of Austria- how they keep him safe from thawing out in a power shortage and and we were not disappointed when we actually looked at him. Awesome! A must see. Go prepared.
Great museum of the Iceman found buried in ice for 5,000 years. So many things to see including his skeleton. Lots of his clothes and hunting items were found. He was brought to this museum and is kept at a constant temperature and moisture level. Great afternoon!
This was a very worthwhile visit. The museum centers around the Iceman, a "wet mummy," that is 5,000 years old. He along with clothes, weapons, etc. have been studied and analyzed and offered much information about that period of time in the South Tyrol area. The is a very interesting and often interactive exhibit. Worth the visit for all ages.
Fasciinating museum - to see the "iceman" and learn about his life, food, clothing and tools etc Well laid out exhibition. Good information and accessable
Value to include this visit with the Bolzano card. Awesome experience to see the actual mummified body close up. Well designed display, so much detail.
