The museum at the Kaiserpfalz invites you on a historical journey from the Stone Age to the High Middle Ages. A large exhibition room is dedicated to the Kaiserpfalz of Charlemagne. Here, the most spectacular find from the Kaiserpfalz Ingelheim, the solidus or gold coin of Charlemagne, is displayed. The external monuments of the Kaiserpfalz are in close proximity, as the museum is located at the entrance to this significant architectural monument.
In addition, the permanent exhibition informs about prehistory, Roman times, and the early Middle Ages in the Ingelheim region. Two and a half life-sized Roman grave figures can be seen today at the museum at the Kaiserpfalz, and a small sensation: even after 2,000 years, remnants of the colored painting can be discovered - even with the naked eye! This should definitely not be missed. Thanks to the mobile app "Ingelheim during Roman times" users can learn more about the three Roman statues.
In all departments of the museum, there are special children's text panels about individual exhibits. In the museum courtyard, which is equipped with deck chairs, benches, and tables inviting you to linger, plants from Charlemagne's medieval land stewardship regulation can be studied. The museum building is accessible and features a small cafeteria as well as a museum shop area.
A virtual 360° tour invites exploration of the exhibition rooms. This offers the possibility to visit the museum at any time and even from afar.
In addition, an attractive and extensive event program invites you year-round to exhibitions, festivals, lectures, tours, and workshops on historical topics.
