Rome in Aquincum permanent exhibition at the Aquincum Museum from the 15th of September 2007

The newest permanent exhibition of the Aquincum museum is now open to the public in the recently re-built and restored ‘electrical transformer house’. The exhibition hall holds the recently restored mosaics and wall paintings from the governor’s palace excavations. The objects presented in the cases, including imported bronze, glass or ceramic vessels as well as the gold and silver jewelry, were all part of the daily life of the governor and the coterie surrounding him. The other unique aspect is that the world famous archaeological find, the Aquincum organ, can again be exhibited some 75 years after it was fi rst brought to light.
