Museum Carnuntinum

The Museum comes to life! – Adventure tour of the Museum Carnuntinum

On two floors the largest Roman museum in Austria presents spectacular finds from the world of archaeology on the theme of religion and cults.  During a guided tour (adjusted to the relevant age group) the pupils enter the Roman pantheon and can open a “treasure chest” full of valuable articles from Roman times.  All those who always wanted to be a Roman can now lead the sacrificial ceremony wearing ancient robes!
Duration: 1h15min    Price: EUR 5.50 per pupil, free entrance for 2 accompanying adults

Youths 11-14 years (5th – 8th school year) and young adults 15-19 years (grammar school and vocational colleges, apprentices, etc.)

“Images of Gods  – Images of Humanity”

The “treasure house” in Carnuntum has a unique ambience with its generously dimensioned museum garden and lapidarium (collection of stone monuments).  The Exhibition “Images of Gods – Images of Humanity” shows an imposing cross-section of Roman beliefs with its virtual reconstructions and depictions.  During this guided tour themes such as the Roman pantheon, superstition and magic, cult sites and consecrations are impressively communicated taking the relevant age group into consideration.
