On this page you will find all the information about current, past and future special exhibitions. We have also summarised the most frequently asked questions in an FAQ at the bottom of the page.
Snow, ice, wind and endless expanses. That is Greenland. But what else does this vast and scenically impressive country have to offer? In our exhibition EIS ZEIT REISE GRÖNLAND we take you on a journey through the archaeology and history of Greenland.
The starting point of the exhibition is the graphic novel ‘Qanga’, which means ‘back then’ in the Inuit language Inuktitut. In it, comic artist Konrad Nuka Godfredsen takes us back to the past of his homeland and to the roots of Greenlandic culture and history.
Experience the world of the Greenlandic natives up close: touch sealskins and tools, listen to their stories at the audio stations, learn a few words of Greenlandic and show off your artistic talent at the comic station.
The Mother of the Sea punishes the greedy humans who hunt sea animals in abundance by keeping the animals at the bottom of the sea and letting the humans starve. Your task is to travel to the bottom of the sea together with a shaman to appease her.
Take an exclusive EIS ZEIT REISE trip to Greenland. Together with your guide, discover the new special exhibition about the life of the people of Greenland, its breathtaking nature and wildlife. The programme will be tailored to your group.
From November, we will be showing the world's first exhibition dedicated exclusively to the Neanderthal woman. It aims to break with the cliché of the wild, spear-throwing Neanderthal man in a provocative way and shed light on the diversity of his community. It questions common stereotypes, definitions such as ‘family’ and role models of women, children and older people. The exhibition has been developed by us in collaboration with archaeologist and bestselling author Rebecca Wragg Sykes.
No, admission to the special exhibition is already included in the ticket for the Neanderthal Museum. You can also purchase tickets that are only valid for the special exhibition exclusively at the museum ticket office (not online). Further information can be found under your visit.
The special exhibition is located in the basement of the Neanderthal Museum, where you will also find cloakrooms, lockers and toilets. You can visit the special exhibition both before and after the permanent exhibition. If you have any questions, please contact the museum's visitor service.
Yes, we want to be a museum for everyone and that explicitly includes children. As an extracurricular place of learning, we always endeavour to make all exhibitions as child-friendly as possible. You will therefore find interactive stations in all exhibitions as well as stations with texts designed for children.
Your ticket is only valid for one day of your visit. On this day, you can visit the permanent and special exhibition as well as the discovery site with the Höhlenblick adventure tower as often and in any order you like.
Of course, we cannot generalise. On average, however, guests spend around 30 to 45 minutes in the special exhibition.
The quickest way to reach us is by phone on 02104 97970 or via the contact form.
