The Museum für Ur- und Frühgeschichte Thüringens displays prehistoric artifacts, tools, and remains spanning 400,000 years of human history in a 1000-square-meter exhibition space.

Founded in 1888 by the Naturwissenschaftlichen Verein, the museum originated from Bruno Schwabe's collection and gained recognition through Pleistocene discoveries in the Ilmtal region.

The museum presents original excavation findings from the Neolithic period through Middle Ages, including Germanic artifacts from Haßleben and Niederdorla sacrificial bog.
