Gäubodenmuseum (Gaeuboden Archaeological Museum)
One thing in particular is associated with the Gäuboden Museum: the "Straubing Roman Treasure", one of the most important Roman finds in Germany. The face helmets, greaves and horse foreheads once buried in a cauldron now form the largest known complex of Roman parade armor. But the museum also shines in other ways with its outstanding collection of exhibits from the time when "Sorviodurum" was an important Roman military site. However, the area was inhabited long before the Romans, and so the Gäuboden Museum is able to present 7,000 years of human history in high quality with its collections. The chronology of the exhibitions ranges from the Neolithic Age to the Celtic period. The "Baiern gefunden!" section shows the origins of Straubing using rich finds from a Bavarian burial ground, "Unter Kurfürst und König" deals with the development of the town from the middle of the 17th century to the end of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1918. The exhibition concludes with a cross-section of the rich sacred art in the Straubing area from the Romanesque to the Rococo period, and signs of popular piety illustrate the connection between religion and the lives of ordinary people.
