Family-friendly design makes this museum one of the best I have ever visited. You spiral up a sloping walkway as you travel back through history to discovery how the world has changed since the Ötzi man's heyday. Good lightning and signage make for an informative visit with a great ambience.

Tons of information given about almost every aspect of the ice man! I read it all and also looked at the poor guys frozen body. It was €9 for entry which I thought was a bit expensive at first but I stayed in there, fascinated, for around 1.5 hours and felt it was definitely worth the money afterwards. The ingenuity of old world clothing is seriously impressive. Its difficult to walk in the snow and cold even with our modern material technology at times, so how they did it back then is bewildering
