The Museum of Palaeontology and Archaeology (Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte) was founded in 2004 as an outpost of the city museum Historisches Centrum Hagen. It is located in the 13th century castle Werdringen in Hagen (North Rhine-Westphalia; Germany).

The collection displays finds in a chronological order, starting with fossils of the Ordovician and later epochs, over artefacts that range from the stone age to the bronze age and early medieval times. The main focus lies on fossils and prehistory. The fossils contain the oldest specimen of winged insects in the world. Moreover, visitors cannot only study many important original finds from the stone age, but they can also use replicas of diverse stone age tools in work stations. Several true-to-life replicas of ice age animals can be seen, e.g. a 3.70 m high and 6.50 m long mammoth.
