*Why are there two different ticket prices?

In the Nebra Ark there are three exhibition areas:
1.  the permanent display on the history of the Nebra Sky Disc,
2.  the Planetarium, showing the astronomical significance of the Sky Disc,
3.  special displays on changing topics

During the special displays, all tickets are priced at the higher, combined ticket rate.
The Planetarium show is included in the ticket for entry to the Nebra Ark.

Audioguides in six languages

International guests will find the main content of the permanent display about the Nebra Sky Disc and all the media points – including the puppet theatre – available completely in six languages: English, French, Spanish, Polish, Japanese and Chinese.

Guests do not have to stick to any prescribed tour but can move freely around the display space and pause wherever they like. At the cash desk the guest chooses a language by dialing a three digit number. In the display, the texts can be called up at will whenever the headphone sign with a number appears.

The Planetarium show has a number, too: if the guest dials this, the text of the film will be played simultaneously in the chosen language. The same applies for the media points in the display – even if you start in the middle, the foreign language version will play at the right point.

Directions to Mittelberg hill and information about the findspot of the Sky Disc are also translated into the same six languages.
