Trentino-Alto Adige Museums And Galleries
Bolzano is the bilingual (Italian and German) capital of Alto-Adige, or as some call it Sud Tyrol. This is mountain and valley country, but has a wide variety of museums including the Museo Archeologico dell'Alto Adige (where the five thousand years remains of Oetzi the iceman repose) and the Messner Mountain Museum Firmian.

Piazza Walther Bolzano
