From the copper age to contemporary art, Bolzano's museums are the keepers of different visions and memories. Walking through the rooms, time stratifies creating an endless dialogue and inviting us to observe history with a fresh look.

The famous South Tyrolean Archaeology Museum is home to Ötzi, the ice man witness to a five-thousand-year-long past. The finds, clothing and everyday tools on display bring his long-gone world to life with staggering clarity. The museum's rooms bring the past closer and turn it into a tangible presence.

Just a short distance away, the Museion opens up to the city as a space of light and reflections where contemporary art and architecture come together. The large windows blur the line between interior and exterior, while installations and images create ever-changing routes. Art here is a personal experience, a lexicon that goes beyond the present and changes perspectives.

The city offers many other museums. You can find a complete list here.
