Aquincum Museum

The Aquincum Museum is an open-air archaeological museum in Óbuda displaying Roman artifacts, structural foundations, and reconstructed buildings from ancient times. The site covers a large area with different sections representing various parts of a former Roman settlement.

The Roman settlement was established as the capital of the province of Lower Pannonia and served as an important center from the 2nd to 3rd century. The museum was founded in 1894 to preserve these archaeological remains.

The site displays how Romans lived and worked here through household items, tools, and religious objects found in excavated homes. You can see beautifully preserved floor mosaics that show the rhythms of daily life from that period.

The museum is located in Óbuda and opens Tuesday through Sunday with hours varying by season. Wear comfortable walking shoes since you will be exploring an outdoor site on foot and paths can become slippery in wet weather.

Archaeologists continue to actively dig here and regularly uncover new finds, meaning the collection constantly changes and grows. Some areas display excavations in progress, allowing you to witness the archaeological process firsthand.
