Ferdinandeum on the road

Until the end of the First World War, the Ferdinandeum was a central collection point for archaeological finds from the southern parts of Tyrol. Even before the Roman occupation, there was lively cultural contact between north and south. Particularly exquisite are the Iron Age finds from the Nonsberg from the well-known archaeological sites of Dercolo, Mechel and Sanzeno, which came to the Ferdinandeum in the 19th century. In exemplary combination with finds from Tyrol, they reflect the permeability of the main Alpine ridge and the cultural unity of the Fritzens-Sanzeno culture. In the exhibition, archaeological highlights from the Ferdinandeum link the Inn and Non valleys and are in dialogue with contemporary works of art.
