Archeology Museum in the Franconian Open Air Museum Bad Windsheim
The Archeology Museum in the Franconian Open Air Museum Bad Windsheim is an archaeological museum in the Franconian Open Air Museum Bad Windsheim . The branch museum of the Archaeological State Collection in Munich is housed in the sheep barn from Virnsberg within the Middle Ages group . The focus of the exhibition is on construction from prehistory and early history to the early Middle Ages . One of the impressive exhibits is the faithful reconstruction of a multi-storey burial house of a noble ladyZeuzleben in Lower Franconia. The Thuringian lady was buried in the 6th century with extraordinarily extensive grave goods such as a carriage, jewelry, household items and clothing.
The Archeology Museum emerged from the Bad Windsheim Prehistory Museum , which was housed in the Old Latin School from 1983 to 1998 . Since the historical building could not be expanded, the museum was redesigned by the State Archaeological Collection in 2001 and relocated to the Franconian Open Air Museum as an archeology museum. The exhibition was set up in a 500 year old sheep barn from Virnsberg, Middle Franconia. In the summer of 2014, the exhibition was completely revised.
