The local museum (Rheinisches Landmuseum). See how they have put the nice wooden building into glass so it can be kept clean! In here I saw a skeleton of the Neandertal man excavated in, er, Neandertal, near Dusseldorf. Here are the 19 (I think) bones found:

Look at the occipital ridge on that! (Thanks to the German ministry of education and research) I may take a trip to Neandertal in the near future in order to take photographic evidence of real, living Neandertals.
