Let yourself be guided in the museum with its rich Gallo-Roman collections.

The Gallo-Roman Museum of Biesheim is exclusively dedicated to the ancient site of Oedenburg, whose interest has prompted large-scale archaeological operations. These excavations have provided abundant archaeological furniture and helped to better understand the urban organization of the agglomeration.
Religious beliefs are also well documented on the site, since this agglomeration has housed a sacred area of about ten temples as well as a shrine dedicated to the oriental worship of Mithras, which allowed us to exhibit votive objects and to reconstruct an offering pit in the museum.
Various themes are addressed in the windows, including trade, funeral rites, crafts, adornments. We exhibit many testimonies of domestic life: religion, jewelry, dishes, tools, coins. I should point out that all the objects on display were discovered in Biesheim during the archaeological excavations.
The centerpiece of the collection is undoubtedly the magnificent intaglio of Commodus, it is an exceptional jewel. It is the centrepiece of our collections, and it is the source of the creation of the museum. Its particularity lies in its exceptional dimensions and the finesse of the engraved scene that represents the Emperor Commodus on horseback in the course of slaying a barbarian king. It is an object worth visiting the museum.
