10 Specialty Museums in Bolzano That You Shouldn't Miss
The capital of Italy’s northernmost region of South Tyrol, Bolzano (Bozen in German) has only been Italian since World War I, and its character remains distinctly Germanic. At the center of the town, Piazza Walther is named for a 13th-century German minstrel. The town’s most famous resident, Ötzi the Iceman, dates from about 3300 BC and now rests at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. The striking new building for Museion, the city’s modern and contemporary art museum, opened in 2008.

We thought a couple of hours would be needed to visit this museum but we're surprised at the quality of various exhibitions. Interesting mountaineering history information, the history of the building and surrounding area which was fascinating. Art installations and display items all within the beautiful castle. The building has been restored and blended with modern materials which are balanced to each other. The architectural design is fantastic and is very well throughout. So 5 hours later and after visiting the cafe, we can highly recommend this museum.

The location is excellent, it is free and the staff is very friendly. It is small but well-assorted. During our visit a staff member, Maurizio Rosa, was permanent at our side providing us with a wide range of details and explanations that made our visit a permanent souvenir to keep in mind. Due to Mr. Rosa valuable assistance we managed to grasp a lot of facts about the pieces exhibited in the museum, as well as the history of Bolzano and the are of the Alto Adige in general. El museo esta muy bien situado, no es grande pero esta bien surtido. La plantilla es muy amable y ademas la entrada es gratuita. Particularmente adeudamos mucho a la permanencia constante a nuestro lado de Maurizio Rosa con sus detalladas y minuciosas explicaciones para mejor entender las obras expuestas y toda la historia de la region. Many thanks Muarizio. Muchas gracias. We hope we can visit the museum again and to have you at our side ones more time.
