From South Baden's oldest art works to medieval Freiburg: the Archaeological Museum, built in the Colombischlössle manor house in 1859/61, invites its visitors on a journey through time. The neo-Gothic villa houses female statuettes from the Stone Age, mysterious moon idols from the Bronze Age and treasures from Celtic royal tombs. Archaeological finds show how people in Freiburg lived in the Middle Ages. Models and parallel events shed light on the living conditions of each age.
