Alte Ziegelei, Industrial heritage museum and cultural center in Mainz, Germany
The Alte Ziegelei Museum displays more than 900 tiles and bricks spanning 4,000 years of history within a 600-square-meter timber-framed building.
Located above a preserved ring kiln from the industrial era, the museum originated from archaeological findings of Roman bricks and clay pipes by two collectors.
The exhibition includes fragments from the Tower of Babel with cuneiform text of Nebuchadnezzar II and Roman legion stamps from the second century.
The museum opens every Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00 between April and October, offering free guided tours by Professor Klaus Ewe upon request.
The collection features evening bricks with special inscriptions and drawings made before firing, along with animal paw prints preserved in ancient materials.
