The Parkhotel Laurin is located in the historic centre of Bolzano,

the elegant shops hidden under arched passageways invite you to a
leisurely shopping experience, whereas the town's many artistic and

Guided Tour in the "Ötzi-Museum" with the Iceman
| Date: | March 4, 2005 |
| Time: | 7 pm and 7:30 pm |
| Location: | Provincial Museum of Archaeology, Museumstrasse/Via Museo 43 |
The
Provincial Museum of Archaeology was inaugurated in 1998. In addition
to its permanent exhibit 'The Iceman', it documents the prehistory and
early history of South Tyrol from the end of the last Ice Age (about
15,000 BC) to the time of Charlemagne (around 800 AD). The museum
offers an exciting trip through prehistoric times in the Alps. Relief
models, reconstructions, stereoscopic images, videos, and interactive
multimedia stations all make the journey back in time believable and,
at the same time, entertaining. Inserted into the historical context,
the heart of the exhibit is 'The Iceman', sometimes also called 'Ötzi',
and the objects found with him. The internationally famous mummy from the
Copper Age and the numerous, extremely well-preserved objects found with
him provide a unique view of the way of life thousands of years ago.
