Ancient Culture Museum | Hohentübingen Castle — Attraction in Tübingen

The museum has a very nice collection of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and remains from Egyptian civilisation. The items of ivory from the ice age are very precious and takes us back to thousands of years. The guided tour in English was really insightful and interesting.

One of the best & the most interesting aspect of the museum is the collections from ice age. These rare items give an insight into the brilliance & geniuses of our ancestors who inhabited the area which is modern day Ulm, Heidelberg and around. These are simply brilliant stuffs and I would recommend everyone who is in (or visits) Tübingen to appreciate the amazing collection of this museum.

PS - Don't forget to see one of the largest barrels...

A museum in a old castle is always going to be cool. From the interior courtyard it doesn't look like much but once you get inside there are many artefacts ranging from the Palaeolithic to the Romans. The Egyptian collection is cool but my favourite was the Palaeolithic figurines which are wonderfully displayed. They include the horse, which there is also an enlarged version of in the courtyard, and a mammoth made of mammoth bone, which I found pretty cool. The museum has lots to it but younger kids may not find it as interesting as other museums as I didn't see much catered to them. Definately worth a visit if you have a...

The museum is well preserved, but what we missed was that in some displays there were no English translations. I agree that it is a German museum so naturally everything is going to be in German (und ich kann Deutsch sprechen und verstehen), but for tourists, especially in the absence of a tour guide, some displays will be difficult to comprehend. The square outside the museum had David's head that weighed 5 tons and we clicked several good pics with it, and crossing over to the yard at the back, one can get great views of the whole old town. Visit on a sunny day and you'll make memories...
