Museum for prehistory and early history

The Museum for Prehistory and Early History exhibits over 200,000 artifacts spanning from the Paleolithic era through medieval times within the Neues Museum complex.

Founded in 1855 as the Collection of Nordic Antiquities, the museum relocated multiple times before finding its current residence in the Neues Museum in 2009.

The institution maintains an extensive research library containing 50,000 volumes dedicated to prehistoric archaeology and conducts international academic collaborations.

The museum provides educational programs for various age groups and maintains a specialized route through exhibition halls documenting human technological advancement.

Among its treasures stands a bronze cuirass from Stična, one of only five completely preserved specimens from the 7th century BC in existence.
