Westfälisches Römermuseum Haltern, Roman history museum in Haltern am See, Germany.
The LWL-Römermuseum exhibits over 1,200 original Roman artifacts, including weapons, coins, household items, and military equipment from ancient Germanic settlements.
Located on a former Roman military stronghold, this site contained up to 5,000 soldiers of the 19th legion before their defeat in the Varus Battle.
The museum displays extensive collections of Roman artifacts, including ivory portraits, bird-shaped oil lamps, and glass dishes that reflect daily life.
The museum operates Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, weekends from 10:00 to 18:00, with wheelchair access and video guides for hearing-impaired visitors.
Visitors can explore a reconstructed 156-meter wooden earthen wall and experience a Roman escape room at the archaeological showcase Aliso.
