Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt

This museum guide describes over 180 highlights, comprising works of art, cultural artefacts and natural history specimens, to make it easier for the reader and visitor to get their bearings in the museum. The various departments with their respective collections and individual descriptions unfold in two large chapters taking into account a loose chronology from the past to the present. This is preceded by a view of the changing history of the museum and the personalities who made significant contributions to its development. -- Foreword.
