Museum of the University of Tübingen

The Museum of the University of Tübingen occupies 2,000 square meters of space and displays over 4,600 exhibits from seven archaeological collections.

Established in 2006, the museum houses artifacts dating back 40,000 years, including mammoth ivory carvings discovered in caves across the Swabian region.

The museum exhibits the Vogelherd figurines, which represent some of the earliest human artwork and are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Ice Age Art.

Visitors can explore the museum at Hohentübingen Castle, access guided tours, and examine collections ranging from astrophysics to ancient Egyptian artifacts.

The collection includes a fragment of a flute made from griffon vulture bone and the Tübingen armourer, displayed in the Knights Hall.
