Danube Limes

Museums

Museums preserve our shared natural and cultural heritage.

Während das UNESCO-Welterbe Donaulimes ein steinernes und unbewegliches Zeugnis des Römischen Reiches darstellt, so zeigen die archäologischen Funde in den Museen das Leben und Sterben der Menschen vor mehr als 1500 Jahren.

Veronika Fischer
Limes Koordinatorin in Bayern

Besonders wichtig ist mir, die römischen Grenzen auf spannende, abwechslungsreiche Weise zu erklären und näherzubringen.

Kennen Sie diese Museen am Donaulimes schon?

Entlang des Donaulimes beherbergen Museen eine Fülle von archäologischen Funden und interaktiven Ausstellungen.

The Bratislava City Museum – Ancient Gerulata

The Bratislava City Museum – Ancient Gerulata was established in 1987 on the site of the former Roman military camp and part of the civilian settlement located northwest of the fort. 

In the exterior part of the museum, there is a late antique fortress from the 4th century as well as foundations of older fortification elements and architecture from the 1st to the 4th centuries. The lapidary, situated in the modernist building, presents an exhibition of stone artwork, the results of archaeological excavations, and the history of Gerulata. A virtual walk through the castellum is available in the museum's treasury.
