Deutsches Höhlenmuseum, Cave science museum in Iserlohn, Germany
The German Cave Museum occupies 600 square meters within a former railway station, displaying extensive exhibits about caves, minerals, and underground formations.
The museum opened in 2006, succeeding a private collection that started in 1967 in a local inn before moving to the Dechenhöhle site in 1979.
The exhibition includes reproductions of European cave paintings, life-size models of cave lions and bears, and educational displays about speleology.
Visitors can access the museum from March to November, with ticket prices ranging from 3 to 15 euros and special rates for groups of 10 or more.
The museum features a darkened sound chamber where visitors experience the acoustics of water drops falling onto stalagmites.
