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.

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.

I would not have known of the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg, had it not been for an article in my paper. The large special exhibition combines top-class masterpieces from international collections with works that have rarely or not been shown before, at all. It is one of the highlights in Saxony-Anhalt in the jubilee year "100 Years Bauhaus". Until 1933, the collection of the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale) was considered one of the leading in Germany in regards of contemporary art - today's classic modernism. The Kunstmuseum was then considered equal to the Collection of modern Art at the Berlin National Gallery in the Crown Prince's Palace "Unter den Linden". With Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, the systematic suppression of contemporary art quickly spread throughout Germany.Sanctions were created to forbid the exhibition and even the creation of any contemporary art not approved by the Nazi Party; such work was labeled, along with the artists who created it, as “degenerate.” The action "Degenerate Art" of the National Socialists in the summer of 1937 put an end to the collection and 147 works were confiscated and "abducted" .Some sold to private persons, mostly abroad. For the period of three and a half months in 2019, nearly 40 of the lost works of art are returned as loans from public and private international collections. Together with more than 300 works of art, which were not not confiscated in 1937,the collection of yesteryear is restored until January 12th in 2020 The Special exhibition of the "visiting works" is curated extraordinarily well. It is a delight to walk the magnificent halls of the Moritzburg. The Regular exhibition of the museum can also be seen - and is worth a wander. A delighful find is the cabinet on the second floor of the northwest tower, with the work of the Halle painter Albert Ebert (1906-1976). The museum shop has a lovely range of books and souvenirs, many of the books are surprisingly affordable. At the Café near the store one can try the tasty cakes of the region.
