Historisches Museum der Pfalz

Regional history museum home to a rare golden Neolithic hat

Address Domplatz 4, 67346 Speyer

The Historisches Museum der Pfalz covers the history of the Palatinate region from prehistoric times to the present. The undisputed star of the collection is the Golden Hat of Schifferstadt, a Bronze Age ceremonial cone of beaten gold -- one of only four such hats ever found. The museum also stages ambitious temporary exhibitions that draw visitors from well beyond Speyer. Right on the Domplatz next to the cathedral, it makes a natural pairing with a visit to the Kaiserdom.
