State Museum of Prehistory in Halle

Over three floors through 400,000 years

Trip to Halle to visit our ancestors

 

“When it rains outside, people come to us,” we learn from the man who receives our jackets at the graduation robe. The Museum of Prehistory in Halle is actually pleasant even in unpleasant weather. And interesting. Over 3 floors it goes through 400,000 years of human history. We mostly stay in central Germany. The famous Nebra sky disk comes from the region and the prehistoric people of Bilzingsleben also lived in this area.

The stories that are “told” in individual rooms are impressive. The location of such an elephant shows that

how it was hunted and dismantled by our ancestors. Anyone who agrees to this will at some point be kindly reminded by the museum staff that their visit to the museum ends at 6:00 p.m.

then have peace again.

 

Conclusion:

 

In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are always elaborate special exhibitions. You should find out more about that. The “normal” exhibition justifies the trip from Erfurt to Halle. The quickest way is by train. The ICE only takes 30 minutes from Erfurt main station to Halle main station. There are also a few tram stops: travel time is about an hour. It's not that fast by car. It will take more than 2 hours to get to the museum entrance in Halle.
