Other Exhibits and Themes

In addition to the Homo steinheimensis skull, the Urmensch-Museum also features other exhibits and themes. These include the geology and wildlife from Steinheim and its surroundings from the Old Stone Age to the Würm Ice Age. Visitors can learn about the natural history of the region and how it has changed over time.

Lifelike Body Model of the Steinheim Woman

Since November 5, 2017, the Urmensch-Museum has been home to another main attraction: a lifelike body model of the Steinheim woman. This exhibit provides a realistic representation of what early humans may have looked like, adding another layer of depth to the museum's exploration of human history.
