As working on many heritage sites for many years I got an experience in the – analogue and digital – reorientation and staging of historical architectural heritage.
Retired archaeologist (Neolithic, Roman etc.), now specialised in archaeometallurgy.
This new exhibition will be officially opened at 11 a.m. Archaeologists and excavation technicians are guests in the museum from 12 noon. They bring their tools with them and demonstrate how modern archaeology works.
The scenic tour "A Zug journey through time: 17,000 years in one hour" presents Zug's prehistory(s) in an entertaining way. The audience encounters the legendary pile dwelling researcher Ferdinand Keller, a museum designer with an exuberant imagination, and Kerila, a time traveler from the Bronze Age.
Make your own dagger out of flint and wood? A workshop afternoon offers a unique opportunity to do so. In addition, shells, antlers and bones can be processed into jewelry in a Stone Age way.
What did the children play with in the pile-dwelling village? How did Romans pass the time? And which games were popular in the early Middle Ages? On Monument Day we offer guided tours, games and workshops.
Stone, wood and metal: raw materials shape human history. At experience stations and during short tours, we focus on materials and their influence on prehistory. Try it out!
Experience fast-paced chariot races and dramatic gladiator fights on Roman Day Vindonissa: Roman chariots and horses compete against each other at the Windisch amphitheater. Impressive gladiators also fight for fame and honor in the cheering crowd of spectators - an ancient spectacle in front of a historical backdrop!
Family Day
In the Roman workshop Fabrica there is an exciting range of handicrafts. The Legionnaires' Path also offers play tours for families with children from the age of four: look for the murderer of the centurion, solve the great oracle or find the secret of the camel!
Guided Tour through the Legionnaires' Quarters
20,000 years ago herds of wild horses roamed the landscapes of Europe. They inspired people to paint caves, but were also hunted. It was only much later, in the Bronze Age, that horses were tamed and used as draft and riding animals. Today there are efforts to preserve the last wild horses. An afternoon for horse lovers with a wide range of activities.
