Landesmuseum Württemberg

The Landesmuseum Württemberg is a history museum in Stuttgart spread across multiple levels of the Old Castle, displaying objects from prehistoric times to today. The rooms contain finds from different periods that show how the region developed.

The museum was founded in 1862, but it is based on an art collection that the dukes and kings of Württemberg had built since the 16th century. That early collecting passion was later turned into a public museum.

The collections show how people in this region lived across thousands of years, from early settlements to modern times. You see everyday objects and religious works here that tell the story of how society changed.

The museum is centrally located in the old town and easily reached on foot, with exhibition rooms spread across different levels of the castle. It helps to wear comfortable shoes, as you will walk a lot and climb stairs.

Among the rare objects are two preserved Aztec feather shields, showing how far-traveling the collectors were. The museum also holds Europe's largest collection of playing cards, with cards from the 15th century.
