One of the most famous attractions in the Bolzano is without a doubt the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. Located in the city centre, the museum houses a great collection of artifacts, some as old as 15,000 years, and is also home to the famous "Iceman" Ötzi. Discovered in 1991, Ötzi is the name given to a mummified and frozen man, thought to be over 5000 years old.
