After eight years of general renovation, the State Archaeological Collection in Munich shines again in new splendor. You can go on an expedition into the past in a sensual way.
Can smell what Cleopatra might have smelled like, can leaf through a digital cookbook and imagine what the smoked fish, roast veal or Punic porridge might have tasted like. The intimate area of the woman known as “Rosalind” is covered. The young woman, who was once buried in Schwarzlaichmoor in the Weilheim-Schongau district, is shown in the permanent exhibition. In a digital station you can click through a quiz and find out how scientists researched and found out how Rosalind's body was preserved in a moor rather than a cemetery. This is exciting and coherent and perfectly preserved so you can feel what she's like. It's like cave painting: everyone understands pictures - they immediately hit the heart, without any prior knowledge. It was possible to carefully combine the classic exhibition of more than 15,000 objects with new approaches to museum education on 1,200 square meters.
