Archäologisches Hegau-Museum, Archaeological museum in Singen, Germany.

The Archaeological Hegau Museum is housed in castle rooms in Singen and presents finds from the surrounding area. The exhibition displays objects and relics that document human settlements and the region's development over time.

A pharmacist named Albert Funk began collecting and preserving archaeological finds from the area in 1925. This collection formed the foundation for the museum, which officially opened in 1951.

The museum shows how people have lived in this region for thousands of years and left their traces behind. Visitors see objects from daily life in earlier times that tell how life here evolved.

The collection occupies 13 rooms of Schloss Singen, arranged chronologically from the Palaeolithic to the early Middle Ages, so follow the sequence room by room. A separate cellar room holds Albert Funk's mineral, fossil and butterfly collections. The museum runs guided programmes for children and school classes, which should be booked in advance.

Much of the collection comes from a local pharmacist whose passion for archaeological finds shaped the institution. This personal collector story makes the museum a place with a special background that often goes unnoticed.
