In 1991, in Similaun in the Ötztal Alps, the approximately 5000-year-old Ötzi glacier mummy was released from the age-old ice. Today, the Ötzi Iceman can be found at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in the centre of Bozen. An exciting permanent exhibition is dedicated to him. In addition, the museum offers an interesting insight into the prehistory of the region.
