Today's Bavaria is characterised by a wide variety of cultural influences. Celts have lived here since the Iron Age. Around the birth of Christ, the Romans established their provinces - with a military presence and civilian life. The Romans left, but the enthusiasm for the Mediterranean lifestyle remained. Today, Etruscan, Greek and Egyptian art complement the large Bavarian antiquities collections.

With the special exhibition "Antiquity in Bavaria", the museum network of the same name presents itself to the public. Visitors can discover high-quality replicas of archaeological finds: from jewellery and ceramics to sculptures and reliefs to the discharge certificate of a Roman soldier. The highlight is a bronze horse's head from the Roman provincial capital Augusta Vindelicum,
today's Augsburg.

Numerous banners and atmospheric impressions provide information about the diverse contents of the eight participating museums and parks. And a reading corner invites visitors to browse through various books and catalogues.
