Museum für Ur- und Frühgeschichte Thüringens, Archaeological museum in Weimar, Germany.
The Museum for Prehistory and Early History of Thuringia displays archaeological finds spanning human history, from the earliest stone tools to medieval objects. The exhibition includes skeletal remains, pottery, and everyday items from different periods.
The museum was founded in 1888 from a private collection by a local natural history society. Important paleontological discoveries from the region, especially remains of early humans, made the institution recognized for scientific research.
The collection displays findings from local archaeological sites, including items from Germanic sanctuaries and ritual burial places in the region. These objects show how people lived and used their surroundings across thousands of years.
The museum is located in Weimar's city center and is easy to reach on foot. It is recommended to allow several hours to explore the exhibits without rushing.
The museum houses fossils of human ancestors who lived in the nearby area hundreds of thousands of years ago. These bone discoveries are among the collection's most valuable objects and show how ancient human settlement in this region was.
