South Tyrol Archeological Museum, Archaeological museum in central Bolzano, Italy.

The South Tyrol Archaeological Museum displays artifacts, equipment, and multimedia presentations across three floors dedicated to ancient Alpine civilizations.

The museum opened in 1998 in a former Austro-Hungarian Bank building to house Ötzi, a natural mummy from 3300 BC discovered in 1991.

The permanent exhibition presents research findings about Copper Age societies through preserved items including axes, clothing, and tools found with Ötzi.

The museum maintains Ötzi in a special chamber at minus six degrees Celsius with ninety-eight percent humidity to preserve the ancient remains.

Scientists determined through X-ray analysis that Ötzi died from an arrow wound to his left shoulder, which cut through a main artery.
