Muzeum Człowieka we Wrocławiu

The Museum of Human Sciences in Wrocław is an anthropological museum displaying human skulls, primate specimens, and artifacts related to human evolution. The collection is organized into three main sections that document primates, human origins, and the stages of human development.

The collection was built from scientific expeditions conducted by anthropologist Hermann Klaatsch in Africa and Australia in the early 1900s. These early research efforts established the foundation for the anthropological studies now presented in the museum.

The exhibition space contains three main sections focusing on primates, anthropogenesis, and human ontogenesis, presenting the complete spectrum of human development.

The museum has been closed since 2020 for renovations, and its collections are planned to move to another location on the University of Wrocław campus. Check ahead before visiting to confirm if the museum has reopened, as the work is still ongoing.

The collection holds around 140 human skulls from different regions, offering insight into the biological diversity of humanity. These objects represent some of the most valuable documents from early anthropological research in Europe.
