Dusseldorf is an old city, but some of the residents at one of its finest museums predate it by a few thousand years. Located in the Neander Valley, where the original Neanderthal Man was discovered in 1856, the Neanderthal Museum is one of the only museums in the world dedicated exclusively to these early ancestors of modern humans, and its collection of fossils, artifacts, and the earliest forms of written communication is unsurpassed. With extensive exhibits detailing the lives, migration habits, and challenges facing neanderthals - who first appeared on earth 60,000 years ago - the museum gives visitors a good reminder of just how far back human history stretches. Guided tours of the museum are available, and there's even a Stone Age Workshop designed to teach 21st century humans what it was like to eke out a living in prehistoric Germany. You'll be making stone tools in no time. The Neanderthal Museum is convenient to several Starwood hotels, including the Four Points by Sheraton Central Dusseldorf.
