The exhibition "Gladiators - Heroes of the Colosseum" tells the thrilling story of the gladiators using immersive elements, video projections, animations and lifelike reconstructions. Highlights of the exhibition include original Roman objects such as helmets and other gladiator equipment from the gladiator school in Pompeii, on loan from the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. With its underground special exhibition room, the State Archaeological Collection provides the perfect setting for this exhibition and is adding material on gladiatorial games north of the Alps. Some of the artefacts will be on display for the first time.
The exhibition is a cooperation with the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Expona and Contemporanea Progetti.
