We are interested by \u00d6tzi and his contemporaries as well as the raw materials, clothing, diet, habitation, trade, tools, and weapons of the time. Our activities focus for the most part upon facilitating learning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The organization of cultural, artistic, and scientific events, exhibitions, seminars, and conferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The providing of educational activities with children, youths, and adults<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooperation with associations, institutions, and organizations that safeguard the cultural heritage of the time of \u00d6tzi and generate knowledge about it through research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running a bookshop\u00a0 within out institution (sale of goods that are connected with the Val Senales valley and the subjects of our exhibitions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running a bistro within our institution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Museum without Originals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The attentive reader of the lengthy list will notice that we do not exercise the classic museum tasks such as maintaining and researching the cultural heritage itself. \u00d6tzi and the articles found with him have found their resting place specifically in the <a title=\"www.iceman.it\" href=\"http:\/\/iceman.it\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology<\/a> in our provincial capital of Bolzano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that \u00d6tzi was found just a stone\u2019s throw away from us would already in and of itself been reason enough to tell about him here to those who were interested. But for us, there are at least three more reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, that we treasure the history of \u00d6tzi and the functionality of the things that he carried with him. That obligates us to pass on the things which, in our opinion, we can learn from him and about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, that we love the Schnals Valley in which we live and work. That motivates us to create jobs here through our own activity and, in so doing, to contribute to the social and economic success of our region that is greatly threatened by emigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, the fact that \u00d6tzi and the way that we may present his life are food for thought to examine and debate the values of our own times. We are pleased to discuss these, such as: durability and obsolescence, transport paths, cycles of reusable materials, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Educational Conviction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our activity is supported by observations and convictions that were already formulated long before us, and even very long before us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Knowledge comes into existence through, among other things, sensory experience (empirical evidence) and imitation (observational learning)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The encounter with the past serves for better orientation in the present<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The acquiring of abilities increases the problem-solving quality of thinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fostering of motor skills assists in learning quick, complex mental processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where learning is primarily through imitation, activities of children and adults are seldom separated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And thus we concretely work this way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u00a0Guided visit<\/strong> (school classes and groups)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unstructured, unguided visit<\/strong> (individual visitor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Presentation of knowledge and interpretations (\u201cit could have been this way\u201d)<\/strong>: exhibitions, installations, dioramas, plants, models, and replicas (also see the <a title=\"Exhibitions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archeoparc.it\/en\/about\/exhibitions\/\">Exhibitions section<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Genuine materials<\/strong>, to be experienced to the greatest extent possible within the context of their production (hands-on)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open space<\/strong> for self-guided experimentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Variety<\/strong> in exhibitions and workshops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employees who can and will present the capabilities of the time of \u00d6tzi:<\/strong><br>&#8211; Open workshops (drop-in activities: without reservations and during the entire opening hours, visitors of all age groups are invited by the employees to watch and playfully try out simplified \u201cStone Age\u201d activities).<br>&#8211; Living history portrayals (first-person interpretations),<br>&#8211; Handicraft demonstrations,<br>&#8211; Workshops,<br>&#8211; Tours and adventure days<br>\u2022<strong> Visitors who wish to discover the capabilities of the time of \u00d6tzi:<\/strong> beyond the five senses, through imitation and play, with creativity and increasing experience, self-determined in terms of time and the selection of the activity, alone, within the family, or together with the archeoParc employees and the other visitors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keeping your eye on the ball:<\/strong> cooperation with other associations and institutions (see <a title=\"Partners\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archeoparc.it\/en\/about\/partners\/\">Partners<\/a>), continuing education of employees, hosting of conferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Working economically:<\/strong> through admission fees, food and beverage proceeds, and sales (73%) and with financial means from public sources and sponsors (see <a title=\"Partners\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archeoparc.it\/en\/about\/partners\/\">Partners<\/a>) providing 6.2 local jobs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more information about visiting us and about our projects in these sections:<br><a title=\"Visit us\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archeoparc.it\/en\/visit-us\/\">Visit us<\/a><br><a title=\"Museum Association\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archeoparc.it\/en\/about\/museum-association\/\">Museum Association<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NIEDERKOFLER Johanna (2016): <strong>Ein Schuss mit Folgen.
