The Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Museum of Prehistory and Early History) has one of the largest supra-regional collections on the archaeology of the ancient world. The display collection offers an overview of cultural history from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages based on finds from all over Europe and parts of Asia.
The main focus of the collection is the early history of Europe from the Paleolithic Age to the Middle Ages. Highlights include Heinrich Schliemann's Troy collection, the find of a Neanderthal from Le Moustier, as well as the Bronze Age "Berlin Gold Hat" and the rich burial inventories of the Merovingian period.
Since 2009, the collection of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History has been on display in the Neues Museum on Museum Island.
