Staatssammlung für Anthropologie und Paläoanatomie
Staatssammlung für Anthropologie und Paläoanatomie stands in Munich as a research institution devoted to human and animal prehistory in Bavaria. Ancient human and animal remains connect its work with questions about ancestral lives and environments.
The institution forms part of the Bavarian State Collections, which have worked alongside the Bavarian Academy of Sciences for more than two centuries. Professors from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität lead research into prehistoric people and animals across Bavaria. Their investigations combine the study of remains with education and historical understanding.
Analysis of ancient skeletons helped reconstruct the pathogen genome behind the Justinianic plague. That result links Bavarian prehistoric evidence with research into historical pandemics. The Munich building brings research and the preservation of regional history into one architectural setting.
