State Museum of Art and Cultural History in Schleswig

The State Museum of Art and Cultural History occupies multiple floors within Gottorf Castle, presenting regional artifacts through chronological exhibitions.

Established in 1880, the museum evolved from the Museum of Patrimonial Antiquities, which began collecting regional artifacts in 1835.

The museum displays collections spanning 80,000 years of human history, including the Nydam Boat and numerous archaeological findings from Schleswig-Holstein.

The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages, with special considerations for visitors requiring wheelchair access to specific exhibition areas.

The museum complex contains the first planetarium in the world, the Gottorf Globe, alongside reconstructed Baroque gardens surrounding the castle grounds.
