Finds from the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal show the settlement of the Altmühl Valley since the Neanderthals. Models of early houses and a reconstructed 2600-year-old burial chamber illustrate the past. Celtic history is particularly emphasised with the Oppidum Alkimoennis and the reconstructed Celtic wall. The "Kelheim - City on the River" section sheds light on the city's history since the 13th century.
