Neues Schloss - Archäologisches Museum des Historischen Vereins für Oberfranken e. V. (New Castle - Archaeological Museum of the Historical Association for Upper Franconia e. V.)
Important information:
The Archaeological Museum is located in the rooms of the Italian Building of the New Palace, which was built between 1759 and 1762. It invites you on a journey through 100,000 years of human history in the region and exclusively displays original finds from Upper Franconia - from the hand axe of the Neanderthal of the Palaeolithic to the bronze writing stylus of a scribe of the Middle Ages. Highlights of the collection are Neolithic battle axes, more than 80 clay vessels from the Hallstatt period, high-quality bronze jewellery in the sculptural style of the early Celts and costume accessories as well as ornamental fittings from the Middle Ages. A "hands-on archaeology" section rounds off the exhibition.
