Kelten Museum

Manching, Germany

The Kelten museum in Manching provides a window to the spectacular excavations of the Celtic city of Manching and the Roman fortress of Oberstimm. As a branch museum of the Archäologische Staatssammlung München, it presents outstanding finds of the Iron Age and the Roman imperial period. The modern museum built in 2006 is situated directly at the original historical site, which can be explored on an archaeological trail.

The exhibition hall is a bit more sparse than the size of the building implies. Apparently one of the old central draws (a gold treasure hoard) was stolen a few years back too. Nevertheless, I think this museum had informative content and some interesting local artefacts. The audio guide is worth it and helped contextualize many pieces. It is harder to find a museum with a Celtic focus than a Roman one; if you are particularly interested in Celts this museum will impress, while if you were looking forward to Roman history this museum may not be so stand-out.

Excellent museum. Very nice collection. No English plaques but you do get an audio guide, which provides very good information. The museum is also special because of the great number and quality of reconstructed items, not just original remains. You can get a great sense of the life in ancient times. The museum store is also well-supplied, though I wish for more English books and publications.

A very nice small museum covering Celtic and Roman history in this area. Beautiful presentation, friendly staff, and they have audio guides in English.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
