A highlight of your journey back to Roman times is a visit to the Museum Carnuntinum in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg. The "treasure house" of the Archaeological Park Carnuntum was built by the architect Friedrich Ohmann in the style of a Roman country house and it was opened by Emperor Franz Joseph in 1904.
One can marvel at unique finds from ancient Carnuntum here. Jewellery, tools, arms and cult objects have been restored with attention being paid to the smallest detail, so the treasures that have survived from Roman times can thus be admired.
Don’t miss the extensive Special Exhibition “Of Emperors and Citizens – Everyday Life in Carnuntum” (from 4 April 2008) marking the occasion of showing Roman everyday life in the city. In addition the themes of luxury and pleasure, building and living, as well as Emperors and cults are treated in detail in this Exhibition. Emphasis has also been placed upon the Carnuntum Emperors’ Conference (308 AD), as it is the 1700th jubilee this year.
