Museum of Protohistoric Archaeology (Landesamt für Denkmalpflege und Archäologie/Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte)
Poster from the museum
Halle's state museum has become world famous as the home to the Nebra Sky Disk; it also lives up to its international reputation of housing important collections with a special exhibition on Martin Luther's life. Housing over 10 million objects, the first museum for prehistoric archaeology in Germany is home to one of the largest and most significant collections on Central Europe's prehistoric and protohistoric archaeology. Topics include the roots of European human history, including Central Germany's oldest known prehistoric man find. Exactly 50 years after its discovery, the Pfännerhall mammoth, the emblem of the former exhibition, can be seen once again. Visitors can experience 400,000 years of the exciting and often dangerous history of their hunter-gatherer ancestors while strolling past cave lions and mammoths, through settlement sites and hunting grounds.
Hours: Tuesday: 9 am to 7.30 pm, Wednesday to Friday: 9 am to 5 pm, Friday to Sunday, holidays: 10 am to 6 pm.
Admission: Adults: 4 €, Concessions 2 €.
