Cultural history

Evidence of cultural history in Neuss is permanently exhibited in two separate spaces.

Archaeological finds from the pre-Roman and Roman history of Neuss are presented in the basement. They range from stone tools from the Ice Age to late antique glassware. All the finds on display were found in the area of the city of Neuss. Weapons and equipment of the soldiers from the Roman garrison of Novaesium are a special focus. In addition to eating and drinking utensils made of clay, glass or bronze and evidence of Roman religions such as figurines of gods, ancient written evidence from Neuss is also exhibited. A highlight consists of the only two completely preserved gravestones of soldiers from ancient Novaesium.
