The exhibition route takes visitors into the world of Ursus spelaeus ladinicus. What did this large cave bear look like? How did it live? And what do its remains tell us about the wildlife, climate and landscape of the Dolomites at that time? At the same time, the exhibition shows how the Dolomites formed and reveals the long geological history they preserve.
A journey back in time
On display are original bones, teeth and skulls of Ursus spelaeus ladinicus, a complete cave bear skeleton, video installations and a reconstruction of a sleeping mother bear with her cubs. A fossil collection illustrates key stages in the formation of the Dolomites.

- Accessibility
We are pleased to welcome people with disabilities to our museum sites. We’ve worked hard on accessibility to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. As the Museum Ladin Ciastel de Tor in St. Martin/San Martino is a medieval castle, we’re afraid that wheelchair users are only able to visit specific rooms on the ground floor. The temporary exhibition in the new building is fully accessible.
- No pets permitted
Unfortunately, we do not allow dogs or other pets to enter the castle due to the nature of our artefacts and out of respect for other visitors. However, pets are welcome in our outdoor spaces and in the new building (café, temporary exhibition). Thank you for your understanding. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our museum soon.
