About
The Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann invites visitors to step back in time and explore the world of our ancient relatives. The permanent exhibition showcases the archaeological findings from the famous Neanderthal cave, while the discovery site and its iconic Höhlenblick Adventure Tower allow guests to view the surrounding valley from above. Interactive, hands‑on displays make the history of the Neanderthals accessible to families, children, and school groups, and the museum’s bilingual presentations in German and English broaden its appeal to international visitors. A small museum café and a roof terrace with panoramic views provide a relaxing pause after a few hours of exploration.
