Over 5000 years ago, in what is now known as Alto-Adige, a man climbed up to the icy heights of the Schnalstal glacier and died.
He was found by accident in 1991, with his clothes and equipment, mummified and frozen. He is an archaeological sensation and a unique snapshot of a Copper Age man. For several years highly specialized research teams examined the mummy and the articles found with it. They have been on exhibit since March 1998 at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology.
