5,000 sq.m of the Copper Age. The outdoor archaeological museum near the location where Ötzi the Iceman was found in the Val Senales valley of South Tyrol shows where and how Ötzi and his contemporaries lived 5,300 years ago.
South Tyrol's first hands-on archaeology museum is distinguished by its unconventional architecture. In terms of construction, form and material, the low-energy museum building is a homage to the Neolithic originals that archaeology has unearthed, and covers an imaginary vista sweeping through Tisental up to Tisenjoch. Depicted along the way are topics ranging from the oldest human traces in the alpine region to the Iceman and his lifestyle and economic adaptation. Life-size house models based on the archaeological evidence convey an idea of how our forebears lived.
