Südschwäbisches Archäologie-Museum (South Swabian Archaeology Museum)
The museum in the attic of the Jesuit College is dedicated to the settlement and cultural history of southern Swabia from the last Ice Age to the early Middle Ages. The focus of the exhibition for the Neolithic period is the settlement of Pestenacker near Landsberg a. Lech (UNESCO World Heritage Site) with the moulding of the floor of a 5500-year-old residential stable house. Evidence of monetary economy and trade among the Celts of the late Iron Age is the coin hoard from Sontheim, consisting of over 350 golden rainbow bowls. The presentation of the Roman period, which focuses on the evidence from the excavations of the early Roman settlement on the Auerberg, is also characterised by stagings, including the replica of a paddy wagon and the apse of the bathing building of the "Villa rustica of Schwangau". The tour concludes with a presentation of the rich finds from the Alamannic burial ground of Mindelheim.
