Near Krapina the largest number of Neanderthal fossil bones in Europe was found in 1899. The findings had a big influence on the different scientific theories about human development and the genesis of our civilisation. Due to various signs on the bones the case was made that the Neanderthals committed cannibalism, but it was already disproved.
The Krapina Neanderthal Museum was opened in 2010 near the site where the Neanderthals remains were discovered. It focuses on the prehistory and protohistory of the humanity and the Neanderthals of Krapina. It is considered to be one of the most interesting evolutionary museums in Europe.
The Krapina Neanderthal Site and Museum got the European Heritage Label in 2015.
