The State Museum of Prehistory in Halle (Saale) is home of the world-famous Nebra Sky Disc and ranks among the most renowned archaeological museums in Central Europe. It is the oldest purpose-built museum for prehistoric archaeology in Germany. The key aspect of its permanent and special exhibitions is human evolutionary and cultural history, which first became tangible in Central Germany around 450,000 years ago. The time-frame ranges to the modern era.
An interesting building, With its own stop on the no. 7 tram line, overlooking the attractive Rosa-Luxemberg-Platz, it’s the contents which really set it apart. With an airy central atrium, surrounded by well-planned galleries, the displays are brilliantly conceived and attractively presented. Who knew that archeology could be made to look so glamorous? The star exhibit (in more ways than one) is the stunning Bronze Age Nebra Sky Disc, the oldest representation of the cosmos in the world. But the other exhibits are pretty good as well. If you are in the area, it is most certainly worth a detour to visit.

With a casual interest in aircraft and wartime history I found this museum fascinating. Junkers's background as a gas engineer and his development of the domestic water heater were a surprise, as was leaning of his death before his aircraft designs were used in WW2. The collection of old Soviet aircraft outside was a surprise bonus. My visit was actually in 2016.

More than 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, many things from everyday life in the former GDR are being forgotten, the "children after the reunification" have already grown up. It is time to preserve good and, of course, negative things, stories and circumstances for posterity and to convey these experiences to young people and guests who are not familiar with everyday life in 40 years of the GDR.

This was a cute little museum attached to the factory and a chocolate shop which had free samples! It will take about 45 min - 90 min to go through the whole place.

Dive into the cult time of the BEATLES. Rarities, curiosities and famous items of the Beatles years (until 1970) and of the solo career time (1968 until today). Many of the exponates are signed by the BEATLES or persons of their surroundings, some even exclusively for the Beatles Museum.
