We spent the late morning and early afternoon exploring a little of Bolzano. They were having a city festival with live Oompa bands. We mainly wanted to see the original "Ice man", Oetzi which was located at the South Tirol Museum of Archaeology. We couldn't take pictures in the museum unfortunately. The frozen Oetzi was found in 1991 along the Italian/ Austrian border high in the mountains, and is a 5,300 year old ice mummy complete with clothing and gear. The museum had alot of artifacts and had a nice description of the evolution of man.
