In 1991, a 5,300 year old mummy popped out of a melting glacier in the Alps along with all his equipment and items of clothing. He was named Otzi and was considered the "find of the century." He's a wet mummy and his tissue, bones and organs are well preserved, helping us learn much from this Copper Age man. Today he's in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy where I visited him in June. Come and learn about what has been discovered about his life. See photos of all his equipment and clothing — his copper axe, bearskin cap, shoes and much more. Learn about the medical examinations that led to knowledge about his last meal and how he died. An afternoon with Otzi will give insights into life 5,300 years ago.
