Museum of Neanderthals

The Neanderthal Museum was built in 1996 on the site of the discovery of the first Neanderthal in Germany in August 1856.

The exhibition of the museum is dedicated to the development of man, and also tells about many aspects of the theory of evolution. Near the museum there is a park, walking along which you can inspect the first stone tools and try to make a stone axe yourself in the “workshop” of the Stone Age. The museum is visited annually by more than 170 thousand tourists.
