Neanderthal Museum - Experience a journey through time

‍

Where one of Europe's most popular and modern museums stands today, Neanderthal was discovered more than 160 years ago.

Today, the Neanderthal is a global star. Everyone knows him - everyone has a picture of him. Reason enough that a museum was dedicated to himand human history, attracting 150,000 guests to the Neanderthal near Düsseldorf every year.

At the museum, guests take a journey through human history - from our beginnings in Africa more than 4 million years ago to the present. Varied productions and hands-on stations, lifelike reconstructions of our ancestors and research boxes to browse through make a visit to the museum an exciting experience for the whole family.

Besides visiting the museum, a walk through Germany's oldest nature reserve is worthwhile. In the Ice Age Game Reserve there are aurochs, bison and tarpans to discover, and the Stone Age playground opposite invites you to climb and romp.

The Höhlenblick Adventure Tower at the Neanderthal Site is another highlight of the Neanderthal Site. The 22-meter-high tower allows visitors to travel back to the Stone Age using virtual telescopes. Those afraid of heights can take the shorter route through the climbing tunnel at an elevation of 20 meters.
