Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren

The Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren displays finds from caves in the region, including tools, artworks, and bones that are thousands of years old. The collection records how people lived in this area many thousands of years ago.

The museum was founded in 1965 and houses objects unearthed from nearby caves. These finds come from a time when the first people settled the Swabian region.

The exhibits show how people lived during the Stone Age through reconstructions of shelters and tools from that time. Visitors can understand what objects shaped daily life for these early people and how they used their surroundings.

The museum has clear exhibition rooms with well-labeled display cases and information panels that help understand the finds. A visit takes about two to three hours depending on your interest.

Several of the excavated objects come from six caves in the Swabian Jura that are recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. These sites rank among Europe's most significant prehistoric find locations and contain evidence of art-making and human life from prehistoric times.
