The Prehistoric Man Museum is a museum of prehistory in Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch, Israel.
The museum showcases historical artifacts found in and around the kibbutz and houses an extensive collection of prehistoric tools and vessels, including hand axes predating human settled in the Hulah Valley, about 780,000 BCE.
The museum's collection includes the skeleton of a prehistoric woman, approximately 50 years old, buried with her dog.[1][2]
The museum also has an ethno-geographic wing with a collection of artifacts and tools from around the world, all made from natural or organic material.
