Museum of Neandertals in Krapina, Archaeological museum in Krapina, Croatia.
The museum features 900 Neanderthal fossil bones and 1200 stone tools displayed across two levels with 18 thematic exhibition areas.
Croatian paleontologist Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger conducted excavations from 1899 to 1905, discovering remains of 24 Neanderthal individuals dating back 125,000 years.
Life-sized reconstructions demonstrate Neanderthal daily activities, including tool use and fur processing, within cave-like concrete interiors.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday, from 9 AM to 5 PM in winter months and until 7 PM during summer season.
A spiral ramp guides visitors through Earth's timeline, with each hour representing major evolutionary events in a 24-hour format.
