Roman Museum Tulln, museum in Lower Austria
Roman Museum Tulln is a museum in Tulln an der Donau dedicated to life in the Roman camp Comagena. The collections include original objects, models of the fort's structures, dioramas, and life-size figures that illustrate how soldiers and residents lived about 2000 years ago.
The camp Comagena was established around 90 AD and served as a major military outpost for several centuries. The museum traces the expansion of Roman borders along the Danube, the Marcomannic Wars, and the end of Roman rule in the late 5th century when many residents departed for Italy.
The name Comagena refers to the Roman military camp that once occupied this site. The exhibits show how soldiers and civilians shared the same space, practicing their religions and managing the practical demands of daily life together.
The museum is set in a quiet park and is easily accessible by public transport, with train connections from Vienna and St. Pölten. A visit typically takes between one and two hours depending on how thoroughly you explore the exhibits.
The museum offers an interactive experience called 'The Legacy of the Grave Robber' where visitors follow a Roman grave robber's diary and solve puzzles to uncover secrets about the camp. This unique activity takes about two hours and can be completed on-site or with a puzzle box purchased at the museum.
