Urmensch-Museum, Anthropological museum in Steinheim an der Murr, Germany

The Urmensch Museum spans 340 square meters across two floors, with the lower level displaying Pleistocene mammals and the upper level focusing on early human evolution.

The museum opened on May 31, 1968, following the discovery of the Homo steinheimensis skull in 1933, which dates back approximately 400,000 years.

The museum includes exhibits about regional geology and wildlife from the Old Stone Age through the Würm Ice Age period in southwestern Germany.

Visitors can explore the museum Wednesday through Friday from 13:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 12:00 to 17:00, with admission prices at 2 euros for adults.

A lifelike model of the Steinheim woman, based on the discovered skull belonging to a 25-year-old female, was introduced to the museum in November 2017.
