I was in Bolzano (Bozen to the Austrians) earlier this month and saw the Iceman exhibit at the new South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. It's quite amazing.

Not only did the corpse survive in pretty good shape, but all his clothes and equipment are on display. Very interesting. The collection on exhibit documents the entire history of South Tyrol from the Palaeonlithic and Mesolithic Age (15,000 BC) to the Carolingian period (around 800 AD).

Lucky you. I'm envious. (My son just left Florence)
