History
An architecturally striking museum built into the very hillside where in 1899 Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger unearthed the largest and best-preserved collection of Neanderthal remains in the world. Walk-through dioramas make Neanderthal life vivid — one of Europe's best palaeoanthropology museums.
“The Krapina Neanderthal fossils include tooth marks that some anthropologists still argue may be evidence of cannibalism — an ongoing scientific debate.”
