Ingolstadt City Museum

The Ingolstadt City Museum displays finds and objects from different areas such as archaeology, crafts, industry, and historical toys. The collection presents a picture of the city's and region's past over several centuries.

The museum holds an amber necklace from the Bronze Age, one of Europe's largest amber discoveries. This find comes from a time when the region already had far-reaching trade connections.

The NEO collection shows how middle-class identity developed during the 1800s through objects from the Werner Friedrich Ott collection. The display reveals how people of that era understood and shaped their place in society.

The museum is centrally located in the city and easy to reach on foot. Visitors should check opening times in advance, as these can vary depending on the season.

The museum preserves the horse of Swedish King Gustav Adolf, a link to the fighting during the Thirty Years War in the region. This unusual exhibit connects local history to a major European conflict.
