South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology
South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Archaeological museum in Bolzano, Italy.
The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology spans three floors dedicated to prehistoric artifacts and exhibits centered around the Neolithic mummy Ötzi.
The museum opened in 1998 to house and study the 5,300-year-old natural mummy discovered in 1991 in the Ötztal Alps near the Austrian-Italian border.
Scientists and researchers from multiple disciplines examine Ötzi's remains and possessions to understand the daily life, customs, and practices of Copper Age Europeans.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with additional Monday openings during July, August, September, and December months.
The facility maintains Ötzi's body in a special cold chamber at minus six degrees Celsius with 98 percent humidity to preserve the ancient tissues.
