Keltenmuseum Manching

Keltenmuseum Manching is an archaeological museum that displays findings from Celtic settlements and Roman military camps in the region. The collection spans approximately 1,200 square meters of exhibition space with objects that document life in this area during ancient times.

The region was home to an important Celtic society from around 150 to 50 BCE, known for its trade networks and advanced metalworking techniques. After Roman expansion, the area became part of a Roman province.

The exhibition displays everyday items like jewelry, weapons, and pottery that show the craftsmanship of people who lived in this region thousands of years ago. Visitors can get a sense of how these ancient communities organized their lives and valued their possessions.

The museum is easily reached on foot from Manching's town center and offers plenty of space to walk through and view the exhibits. It makes sense to allow at least two hours for a visit to explore the different sections at a relaxed pace.

Two fully preserved Roman patrol boats from the 1st century are displayed here and rank among the best-preserved Roman ship finds north of the Alps. These vessels were only discovered in 1986 and offer insights into Roman naval technology and military strategy.
