    We attended the guided tour of Leipzig. We're recent migrants to Leipzig from Australia and figured…read moreit would give us a feel for our new home. The tour costs a very affordable 15€ and includes a one hour walking tour then two hours on a bus (without stops). The afternoon tours are often in German and English (my Deutsch is beginner level) and the tour leader speaks first in German then English. The walking tour is around the city centre and shows a range of architecture, monuments and sites of interest. Enjoyable with plenty of tips for places to visit in the future. We then popped on a rather comfy coach for a two hour trip around Leipzig. The tour leader didn't stop talking once! A running commentary is indeed what you get. As someone who teaches workshops I was greatly in awe of her stamina. We saw neighbourhoods where the rich people live, sites of gentrification, a lovely refurb of a warehouse into loft apartments over a canal and of course landmarks of note like statues, monuments, libraries, galleries etc. My main criticism is that I would have like to hear more about the women of Leipzig (Wagner, Goethe et al are celebrated with pride) but this more a fault of modern history than the tour itself. Further, as the only person on the tour who didn't speak much German, I generally got a sentence to everyone else's paragraph. I had an earache all week and didn't have the greatest head for facts and figures so I wasn't bothered, but some may be.

    The authentic Sky Disc of Nebra lives here at the Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte ( Halle State…read moreMuseum of Prehistory ) This museum is filled with ancient burial pits and narratives around how various ancient peoples lived, worked and took care of their dead And in a small room on the second floor, is the Sky Disc and the story of how it was found, looted & stolen and eventually recovered. Lots of jewelry and weapons on display, the building is easy to get around and setup sight beside a lovely park with lots of shady trees - many people outside enjoying picnics It was the perfect ending to our archaeological adventure to see the real Sky Disc, after learning about its discovery and a much richer history at the planetarium / museum, at the Arche Nebra in Nebra

    On May 6th 2012, I went to the Landesmusuem fuer…read moreVorgeschichte in Halle and it is definitely worth a visit. I was especially interested in seeing the Pompeii exhibition. Before entering the museum I had to wait for a short amount of time as only groups of people were allowed in at a time. Once you enter the building it is very astonishing, it is four levels high and set up in a dim light. The exhibition was quite busy with many visitors, still there was enough space to look at each artifact. The exhibition described the eruption of the volcano Vesuv and gave a lot of background of the ancient roman life. The show focused on the everyday life of the Romans such as the housing, fights and politics. On display were videos, paintings, sculptures, pottery and dishes. There were also optional and free tour guides who were friendly and informative. The permanent exhibitions were on the Paleolithic period, Mesolithic period, Neolithic period and the early Bronze Age. Which were all set up beautifully with loads of interesting information but the highlight was without doubt the Pompeii exhibition. I would encourage everyone to visit the Landesmusuem in Halle.
