Baden State Museum, Karlsruhe | Hours, exhibitions and artworks on Artsupp

The Badisches Landesmuseum is the largest museum of regional culture, art and history in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Its collections retrace more than 50,000 years of international cultural history, retracing the entire history of humanity, from prehistoric times to the present day. The museum was founded in 1919 and opened in 1921 in the halls of Karlsruhe Castle. The exhibition space is divided into four floors. There are archaeological finds from the surrounding area such as vases, tools, jewels, starting from the first cultural history in Baden from the Palaeolithic (ca. 650,000 BC) to the Carolingian period (VIII century AD). There are also objects and testimonies of the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean: finds from the Greek and Roman, Etruscan and Magna Graecia cultures, as well as furnishings from Roman villas and early Christian-Byzantine objects. In the museum there is also the so-called Booty of the Turks, made up of the equipment of the time of the Turkish wars, brought back to the city at the end of the 17th century by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden. It includes weapons, armor and riding equipment. A section of the museum is dedicated to the mutual influence of European and non-European cultures and the role of mediating cultures. For this section, the museum has therefore collaborated with museums in Tunisia, Algeria, Turkey, Greece, Italy and France.
