Indianermuseum Derenburg, Native American museum in Derenburg, Germany
The museum displayed 4,000 ethnographic objects and archaeological items from indigenous and non-indigenous Americans across North, Central, and South America.
Founded in 1992 by Thomas Merbt, the museum relocated from Bad Wimpfen to Neckarmühlbach, then to Bretten, and finally to Derenburg until its closure in 2017.
The exhibition included life-sized dioramas with realistic figures, animal specimens, a reconstructed log cabin, and a winter landscape with a tipi tent.
From Easter Sunday until October, visitors could explore the museum Wednesday through Sunday between 14:00 and 17:00, with adult tickets priced at 6 euros.
The founder received the name 'Turned Apple' after being adopted by a Florida Native American tribe in 1998, reflecting his dedication to preserving indigenous heritage.
