... History, Myth, Magic
Exhibition at the Ulmer Museum
November 15, 2013 to June 9, 2014
The State Office for the Protection of Monuments has recently conducted
research in the Stadel cave in the Lonetal valley cliffs at Hohlenstein,
and in 2009 a team of archeologists led by Prof. Dr. Claus-Joachim Kind
surprisingly managed to locate the place where the Lion Man was
originally found. Subsequent excavations from 2010 led to the discovery
of further important fragments of this statuette. They had been left in
the cave at the time of the first excavations, which had been
discontinued at the end of August 1939 due to the outbreak of World War
Two. This was thus the first time that archeological researchers have
managed to find new fragments of a well-known sculpture from the Early
Stone Age. These fragments have made it possible to reconstruct this
unique artwork almost in its entirety. The Ulm Museum will mark the
occasion of the return of the Lion Man by presenting this fascinating
Ice Age artwork at the center of unique exhibition. We will shed light
on the mysterious and exciting story of the statue's discovery and
research, and also on the use of today's high technology in Ice Age
archeology. ulm.de
