Exhibits
In the exhibition over 800 exhibits from about 100 lenders from all five continents show how humans have dealt and deal with their environment.
The exhibits reach from 1.8 million years old stone tools from Africa to modern UV-protection clothing from Australia. The focus of interest are Neanderthals and early modern humans: these human types even managed to adapt to the extreme climate changes between 130 000 and 9600 BC.
In a designed landscape the visitors pass petrified leaves which fell to the ground in an autumn about 400 000 years ago. They meet huge mammoth skeletons, a sabre-toothed cat and the mummy of the mammoth baby “Dima”.
The world’s three oldest wooden hunting weapons are on display as well: a 370 000 years old spear from Schöningen (Germany), the 125 000 years old lance from Lehringen (Germany) and the 9000 years old bow from Holmegård (Denmark).
