Welcome to the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, home to Ötzi the Iceman, a remarkably preserved mummy dating back over 5,000 years. This museum not only showcases ancient artifacts but also highlights the region's rich history and cultural evolution through interactive exhibits that engage visitors of all ages.
