In the organizer's words:

The Hohenzollern Sigmaringen archaeological collection is one of the most important private collections in southern Germany and is now being presented in the Old Palace for the first time. It was created in the 19th century and combines aristocratic passion for collecting with genuine scientific curiosity. The exhibition focuses on the people who shaped this collection and shows selected finds from many centuries. On display are precious Roman silver discs, elegant Apulian vases and other objects that provide exciting insights into past cultures.

Visitors are invited to discover the past from a new perspective. Why were objects collected, how did this passion influence archaeology and what significance do these objects still have today? The exhibition poses questions, opens up new perspectives and makes it clear that every find tells more than its mere form.

A separate area invites visitors to reflect on the history of science and how knowledge is created in the first place.

The free LMW app accompanies the tour. The exhibition can be explored in German, English, in simple language, in German sign language and as an audio description.
