Fuhlrott-Museum
Date Added: 5th Feb 2019
Site Type: Museum
Country: Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia)
Visited: Yes on 10th Aug 2018. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 3 Access 5
Fuhlrott-Museum submitted by Harald_Platta on 13th Aug 2018. The Fuhlrott-Museum was a natural history museum in Wuppertal (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). The museum was opened in 1892 by Johann Carl Fuhlrott, who first described the bones of the Neanderthal. The museum was closed to the public in 2008 because the city of Wuppertal had not enough money to support the museum anymore. Since then, it has been speculated if it could be re-opened again someday. However, this option seems to get more unlikely with each year passed.
Picture of the entrance ...

Log Text: I had visited the still opened museum when I was a child and a teenager. The presentation of the finds always seemed to be a bit old fashioned, but as an interested person, I visited it several times.
