Intro

Aventicum, the capital of the City of Helvetii, whose territory covered most of the Swiss Plateau, had about 20,000 inhabitants in the 3rd century AD.

Aventicum, the capital of the City of the Helvetii, whose territory covered most of the Swiss Plateau, had about 20,000 inhabitants in the 3rd century AD. Remains of several monuments can be seen: an amphitheater with 16,000 seats, a theater that could once hold nearly 9,000 spectators, temples, baths and a 5.5 km long wall, punctuated by 73 towers, only one of which is preserved today. The museum, installed in a tower of the XIth century overhanging the famous Arenas, will make you travel in time and discover the inhabitants of Aventicum. Mosaics and wall paintings, earthenware, glass and silverware, jewelry and sculptures are just some of the wonders to be admired, as is the centerpiece of the collection, the golden bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The museum also regularly hosts temporary exhibitions.
