Housed in the beautiful 16th-century Górka Palace, Poznań’s Archaeology Museum contains a collection of 42,000 rare and mystifying objects that chart life in North Africa and prehistoric Poland. The first part of the museum takes you through the earliest settlements in the region, with life-sized figures as well as miniature dioramas depicting life from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. The other permanent exhibits include 'Death and Life in Ancient Egypt,' 'Archeology of Sudan,' 'Rock Art of North Africa,' Tu powstała Polska (It was here that Poland was born) and Pradzieje Wielkopolski (The Prehistory of Greater Poland). Relating to the Ancient Egyptian-themed exhibitions, there is also a three-metre-tall granite monolith, the Obelisk of Ramesses II, located in the courtyard!
