State Prehistoric Collection Description
(Local Name: Prähistorische Staatssammlung) The State Prehistoric Collection is housed in an exceptionally well designed purpose-built museum overlooking the English Garden.

The collection was begun following the foundation in 1759 of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, and fostered by King Max I Joseph as well as by the very active Historical Society of Upper Bavaria. Towards the end of the 19th C. the anthropologist Johannes Ranke campaigned tirelessly for a separate museum of prehistory.

On display are:

Rooms I-VI

Paleaolithic period: finds from the Klausen caves near Neuessing and the Weinberg caves near Mauern.

Mesolithic period: finds from Speckberg near Eichstätt
