Mining industry A unique monument to industrial revolution The Ridnaun site is a unique monument to the industrial revolution. Here, 150 years ago, a state-of-the-art ore processing plant was created, with huge machines to break and crush the rock and large flotation pools to convey the ores to the surface. Impressive braking inclines and horse tracks form part of what is the world’s largest above-ground conveyor, leading to the ore district high up in the mountains. The Poschhaus Gallery bores 6 km diagonally through the mountain into the Passeier Valley.

This historical exhibition documents the events of the 1960s in South Tyrol. At that time, state policies formulated in Rome and plainly pursuing the objective of infiltrating and denationalizing South Tyrol and thus reducing the ethnic German and Ladin populace - representing the numerical majority - to a disenfranchised minority and expunging their identity. The "Liberation Committee of South Tyrol" (BAS) attempted to carry out demonstrative attacks - especially against high-voltage power lines - in order to draw the world's attention to the unendurable conditions in South Tyrol. Unfortunately, there were deaths on both sides - and none of them should be forgotten. The exhibition should remind everybody of the people who died during this period, their suffering and the whole tragedy.

Meet here the world’s famous chalcolithic ice mummy called "Ötzi, the Iceman" who was found with all his belongings on the Similaun glacier in 1991. Situated in the city center of Bolzano (pedestrian area), the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology displays the oldest wet mummy in a sophisticated ice cell and shows Neolithic craftmanship in his equipment: the world’s most antique clothes and the hunting equipment with the world's oldest fully preserved copper axe.
Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy
The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is centered on the iceman "Ötzi" that was discovered in the Alps some decades ago. The mummy itself is visible through a window, in the refrigerated cell where the 5000 year old man is kept. All artifacts found with the mummy are here too (clothings, shoes, hat, ax, pouch, knife, bow, quiver and arrows, baskets...) and very good explanations are provided in Italian, German and English of each item. Every artifact or any discovery about Ötzi are put into contest of the people life at that time, so the entire museum tells a fascinating history of 3400 years BC. You cannot take pictures of the mummy, but everything else can be photographed. At the end of the tour, you find a museum shop, with good books about Ötzi.
