South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology - the Ice Man Museum
A museum dedicated to the discovery and understanding of Otzi, the Ice Man discovered in the Dolomites between Austria and Italy.
It has now been 20 years since Ötzi was discovered near the Italy-Austria border. This "Ice Man" was very well preserved over the millenia after being alive over 5,000 years ago. Called by many as the missing link, this was an important discovery in our lifetime as it has helped scientists learn more about the evolution of man and what life was like back in his time.
The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is dedicated to this Ice Man, giving visitors a thorough understanding of his significance, as well as a look at the actual body, which is well preserved. This unique museum is the main attraction in Bolzano, which is also a city that comes with gorgeous views of the Dolomites. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend checking out this museum, which will take under an hour to view.
