Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn

[1] The museum has a number of notable ancient busts and figures dating back to Roman times.

A more direct ancestor, the "Provincial Museum", was founded in 1874, though it did not get its own building until 1893.

This was enlarged in 1907, but the older section was destroyed during World War II and replaced by a new building.

[3] The "Stone Age Area" features the original skeleton of the type specimen Neanderthal 1,[4] and displays the evolution of humanity from the development of upright posture to the early Celtic cultures of Europe.

The museum has a cinema which mostly shows subtitled foreign films, sometimes for school classes.
