Such a beautiful place with a more beautiful mission, highly recommendable to go and learn about the Jewish Community in Saxony.

A small museum but (for the stranger) a fascinating and accessible introduction to the history of Magdeburg. The 10-minute animation of 1,100 years of city history is well executed and records the three times the city has burned down (the last time courtesy of us). Then there is the story of Otto the Great and his English Saxon wife Edith (a forgotten figure in English history books) whose teeth were exhumed and taken to Bristol Dental School for examination. All captivating stuff.

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.
