Archaeological Museum Neu-Ulm
The Archaeological Museum Neu-Ulm was an archaeological museum in Neu-Ulm in Bavaria . The museum was a branch museum of the Archaeological State Collection in Munich and at the same time the largest museum in the Neu-Ulm district.
The museum was opened in early 1998 in a new building specially built by the city of Neu-Ulm, on Petrusplatz. The museum was mainly supported by the State Archaeological Collection, which also looked after the exhibits. The collection consisted of holdings from the former Neu-Ulm local history museum, archaeological finds from district archeology and the holdings of the Prehistoric State Collection. The focus of the exhibition was on people and their environment in the Upper Swabian region from the Paleolithic to the early Middle Ages , with particular attention to the presentation of prehistoric materials and technologies from the fields of stone, wood, bone, metal, ceramic and Glass processing. True-to-life, sometimes life-size reconstructions, models and figures complemented the numerous archaeological finds on display. One of the main attractions of the museum was the reconstruction of the Hallstatt dynasty of Vöhringen-Illerberg with valuable grave goods .
The Archaeological Museum in Neu-Ulm was supplemented by the Ulmer Museum , located on the opposite side of the Danube in Ulm , which showed important archaeological finds from the Baden-Württemberg area around Ulm.
The museum was closed in 2008. This fits in with a series of museum closings in Bavaria with which "unprofitable" institutions were wound up. We are currently looking for a new location. The children's museum of the Edwin Scharff Museum is now in its place.
