In the second half of the 19th century, the ancient city of Carnuntum became the focus of research scientists. Numerous excavation projects brought sensational finds to light. The findings were consolidated into the newly established museum, officially opened by Emperor Francis Joseph in person on 27 May 1904. Exhibitions show the valuable objects from over 400 years of Roman settlement in the Carnuntum area. In addition, the Museum Carnuntinum is also a centre of scientific research. Current research projects bring the latest insights into life in ancient Carnuntum, providing plenty of material for future exhibitions.
