Small but well organized museum. I’d recommend getting the museum audio app for your phone. It’s only $1 and helps to bring the displays to life, plus it allows you to go at your own pace. The first 3 floors are all for Ötzi and the fourth is what I assume to be a rotating exhibit. I didn’t reserve a ticket and had no problems with crowds, but I did go midday on a Tuesday. Bag storage is available too since you can’t bring large bags into the exhibit area.

Definitely worth a stay! Super informative and nicely prepared. Whole experience is well organized. We had to wait outside for about 15 minutes, but you can also make a reservation in advance for a certain number of slots.
