Museum Carnuntinum

The Carnuntinum Museum in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg is the oldest excavation museum in Austria and is a central element of the Roman city of Carnuntum. In a building constructed in 1904 in the style of a Roman country villa, it presents important original finds from the archaeological excavations of the ancient city on the Danube Limes. The permanent exhibition "World City on the Danube Limes" impressively shows the path from a Roman winter camp to a metropolis and illustrates life in one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire north of the Alps with numerous original finds. The museum offers a comprehensive insight into the history, everyday culture and significance of Carnuntum in Roman times.
