Thanks to its outstanding collection, the LVR-LandesMuseum is the only cultural history museum in the Rhineland to present the development of the region from its beginnings to the present day. Visitors can expect an eventful journey through time from the Stone Age to the present day in the permanent exhibition. The world-famous original Neanderthal man (42,000 B.C.) is on display, as is the largest Neolithic well in the world. Other highlights are the Fritzdorf gold cup from Mycenae in the Bronze Age, the Pfalzfeld column from Celtic times and the treasure of a Celtic princess from Waldalgesheim. The Roman period can be discovered through one of the best provincial Roman collections in Germany. Highlights from the Frankish period are the rich tomb of the Lord of Morken and probably the best collection of Frankish gold disc brooches in Europe. The Romanesque sculpture frieze from Gustorf, a highlight of 12th century art, leads into Christian Europe. Landscape painting from the Renaissance to the 19th century forms another focus. Modern painting from Expressionism and New Objectivity to Informel and contemporary art round off the collection. The important photo and graphic collection is presented with ever new thematic focuses.
