Archäologisches Landesmuseum Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The Archäologisches Landesmuseum is a museum in Schwerin focused on Bronze Age finds and discoveries from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region. The collection includes artifacts, tools, and historical objects spanning thousands of years of regional history.

The museum was founded in 1950 but draws from royal collections dating to the 1700s. Over time its holdings grew through acquisitions of materials from earlier archaeological and antiquarian sources in the region.

The museum displays Bronze Age objects that show how people lived in northern Germany thousands of years ago. Visitors can see tools, vessels, and ritual items that reveal the daily practices and beliefs of ancient communities.

The museum is currently closed for renovation and will relocate its collections to Rostock by 2026. Plan your visit in advance by checking on the latest opening status and any temporary exhibitions.

The museum is supported by thousands of volunteers who actively help preserve archaeological heritage across the region. This network of dedicated amateurs plays a key role in protecting local history and discoveries.
