Iceman Exhibition is Too Cool
We’ve all seen the recent television commercials where the icemen Foötzi and Toötzi run amok at the Australian National Maritime Museum. The hilarious ads advertise the museum’s latest exhibition, Iceman: The Story of Ötzi.
But just who was Ötzi? Well, he was found 16 years ago in an Italian glacier, which had kept him preserved for around 5300 years. That makes him the oldest known wet mummy in the world. The exhibition explores the mystery surrounding Ötzi’s life and death. Kids can see a replica of the mummy and the reconstructed model of how Ötzi would have looked before he died.
Children will also love digging through the archaeological site to find evidence about how Ötzi lived and died. They can also make their own arrow quiver and dress up like an iceman!
