What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
DoloMythos Museum offers a unique, albeit eclectic, experience with a strong appeal for families due to its interactive treasure hunt and dinosaur exhibits. While some find the curation chaotic and labeling inconsistent, others appreciate the vast collection of local lore, art, and historical items. The large shop and bistro add to its appeal as a comprehensive indoor attraction.
"A bit of a tardis, with lots of info and things to look at, but unfortunately very bizarrely curated. It felt like someone has dumped everything they had about the Dolomites into one place, and it was very confusing trying to get a sense of the ‘story’ of the area. Labelling was very absent, moving from ‘section’ to ‘section’. The little info screens were infuriatingly out of order going from page 2 to 4, to 1 etc. and auto-scrolling quickly so you have no time to digest it all. It was just a very confusing place, and I love learning about the history of places and getting a sense of how it all fits together. The ‘treasure hunting’ was good for 20 mins for the kids, otherwise the museum has little of appeal, given the poor organisation and presentation. A bit of a waste, but still worth a visit on a rainy day, like we had, I guess
The huge, and very extensive collection of decorations and ornaments and cute items, as well as bistro and deli section make this place still worth visiting, in a cool building and good location very centrally in San Candido."

"I discovered impressive traditional art! We visited for Christmas. It was festive, warm and the staff was really friendly. It's an extraordinary experience especially for families. The chidren's playground has a treasure finding play rarely found at any other place and childrean really love it! I recommend visiting the museum. It's worth it!"

"Everything is quality in Südtirol, this erratic museum is rather confusing and chaotic. This collection of everything that might be interesting, including some forced link to dinosaurs seems overpriced. At the exit sign: What did you want to tell us by this museum? There is not much about history of the Dolomites and for dinosaurs a palentological museum might more didactic."
