The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus, dedicated to the prehistoric bear of the Dolomites, was opened in July 2011 in San Cassiano in Val Badia. The three-storey exhibition acquaints visitors with the history and environment of the cave bear, which lived 40,000 years ago. Original bones, teeth and skulls of a new species of bear, named after the Ladin Ursus ladinicus, are shown. Video installations, a whole skeleton of a cave bear and a reproduction of the 'sleeping bear' enrich the exhibition. A separate section dedicated to the formation of the 'Pale Mountains' explains, through beautiful fossils, the main stages in the birth of the Dolomites.
