Württemberg Regional Museum

Situated in the heart of the city, Stuttgart's Old Palace, once the seat of the counts and grand dukes of Baden-Württemberg, is now home to Württemberg Regional Museum. The museum traces the history of the region, documenting a period spanning the Stone Age, Celts, Romans, Alemanni, Middle Ages, baroque and modern age. At the heart of the exhibitions is the Kunstkammer, which dates back to the 16th century, when the dukes collected all manner of priceless curios. Other attractions from the former kingdom include crowns, sceptres and dazzling royal jewellery. Closed on Mondays, guided tours available.
