City museums

The Memory of ice

The South Tyrolean Archaeology Museum is home to Ötzi the iceman, a witness to a remote past. The museum’s finds and reconstructions bring his five-thousand-year-old world to life with staggering clarity. Everyday objects, clothing and tools owned by the oldest mummy ever found speak volumes of everyday actions, needs and survival itself. The museum's intimate spaces bring the past closer and more tangible, for a living and profoundly human history.

Contemporary dialogues

Museion is a light-filled contemporary art and architecture space which projects out into the city and dialogues with it. Its large windows mirror and transform the landscape, while its exhibitions pose topical questions about the present. Installations, images and forms change constantly, offering something for everyone, even the very young. Art here is a living experience, a lexicon which crosses borders and gives us fresh perspectives.
