BonnBonn boasts a large number of museums covering a divers range of subjects from history and archaeology to arts and sciences to politics. The long history and prehistory of Bonn and the Rhineland, beginning with the original Neanderthal man, is documented in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum. The constitutional convention for the future Federal Republic of Germany met in the zoological Museum Alexander König with the stuffed animals staring down on the assembled politicians in 1948. A museum building boom in the 1980's added three big institutions in the former Regierungsviertel (government district) along the main road from the city centre to Bad Godesberg; these are somewhat arbitrarily grouped together with the historic Museum König in the Museumsmeile (museums' mile). Many famous people lived at least for a period in Bonn. The homes of some of them (Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Ernst Moritz Arndt, August Macke, and, in Rhöndorf just south of Bonn, Konrad Adenauer) can be visited.
