Museums in South-Western germany

[Daumiz]

Good day, in November I will be going to Mainz to visit central museum, so I am curious if there any other good archaeological or historical museums in the region of south-west of Germany ? I am interesting in everything from stone age to end of viking era.

A couple of museums have been discussed here:

In the city itself at least are::
* Landesmuseum (sculpture and inscriptions);
* Museum für antike Schifffahrt (ships and navigation);
* Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (general);
* Museum Castellum (bridgehead on the east bank);
* Temple of Isis

The Historisches Museum der Pfalz in Speyer, 80 km south from Mainz, has notable collections from antiquity and the migration period. Even more, their Sonderausstellungen (Huns, Vikings, samurai, etc.) are worth a trip. The town, in the midts of which the museum lies, is very beautiful, too (it features the largest standing Romanesque cathedral of the world).

....and don't forget the Museum im Andreasstift at Worms,
Museum der Stadt Worms im Andreasstift
Weckerlingplatz 7
67547 Worms
Smaller but nevertheless interesting. Custos Dr. Mathilde Grünewald gained some merits from her publications on graves of the larger Worms area.
This one here gives you an overview:
