Immerse yourself in the world of human evolution at the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann, not far from where the world-famous Neanderthal was found more than 160 years ago. Learn the storey of mankind from its beginnings in the African savannahs four million years ago to the present day.
Step into this modern museum and discover the fascinating world of the Stone Age in a permanent multimedia exhibition. Meet our ancestors, as well as the cute baby mammoth, and listen to informative insights through the included audio guide.
Allow the kids to blow off steam on Europe's largest Stone Age Playground, encounter the bison in the Ice Age Animal Park, or just take a walk on the Art Trail.
Explore the Höhlenblick Tower to find a virtual Ice Age world at the same height as the lost discovery cave. Along the path to the tower listen to stories of eyewitnesses from history who experienced the valley and, at the Rabenstein rock formation, see the discovery site.
Experience the roof of the tower, designed to look like the Neanderthal's skullcap, gaze at life-size Neanderthal bones, be part of the Neanderthal burial in a 360º video, take a shortcut through the climbing tunnel 20 metres above the ground and wander through the turbulent history of the valley.
