Forschungsmuseum Schöningen, Research museum in Schöningen, Germany
The Forschungsmuseum Schöningen displays archaeological discoveries and ancient wooden spears in a modern building near the excavation site.
Archaeologists discovered eight wooden spears at this location, dating back 300,000 years, representing the oldest complete hunting weapons ever found.
The museum illustrates early human development through exhibits about Homo heidelbergensis, showing their advanced planning and technological capabilities.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Thursdays and weekend hours from 10:00 to 18:00.
A wild horse pasture and specific plant communities in the 34-hectare outdoor area recreate the environmental conditions from 300,000 years ago.
