The Exhibition

The museum was opened in 1982 and is located near the river Inn in Passau, Germany. All exhibit samples are archaeological finds, almost all of which were found in the region of Passau. The samples shown in the museum stem from the period between the 8th century BC and 476 AD, the end of the Roman Empire. The museum building itself is an exhibition sample too. Going back to the middle ages, it was built on the foundation of the late Roman fort Boiotro.

Media Used for the Exhibition

The museum uses various media to portray the Roman history in Passau. It shows a virtual reconstruction depicting the historic townscape of Passau, but also uses numerous touch screens and listening stands. In the museum's garden you can find remains of the Roman fort walls and guard towers. This is history alive!

Further Exhibition Rooms

In the basement, an exhibition is presented about trade and economy of Passau from Stone Age to the Roman Empire, while the last rooms of the museum cover the period of late antiquity.
