Gods, soldiers, citizens in Aquincum
Permanent exhibition, BTM Aquincum Museum, main museum building
April 4, 1995

The exhibit in the museum building was put together on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Aquincum Museum. With the aid of the most important finds from we present life in the town, the Roman citizens and soldiers who lived within its walls. The townspeople lived with their gods, so that, the world of the Roman Gods wove through every aspect of everyday life.
The Aquincum Pantheon of deities is displayed on the back wall Hall I before a background design to give the feel of a Roman shrine interior. Military monuments characterize Hall II. The official cults and remains connected to the Governor's Palace may be seen in the next Hall. Hall IV is designed around the activities of the Civil population of the town. The work and tools of potters, carpenters, masons, and stucco artisans can be seen in the cases. The atmosphere of antique times is brought back in the last Hall where visitors can find an interior reconstruction with its mosaics and wall paintings.
The interior decoration and color arrangement of this exhibition aims to complement and fill out the experience of the visitor in the surrounding ruin area.

Aquileia - Aquincum.
temporary exhibit in the BTM Palace Museum
June 27,1995 - September 6, 1995

Although the Roman precusor of the Capital, Aquincum, did not lie directly along the Amber Road it never the less had many connections with the town of Aquileia which for 400 years was the the point of departure for this very important route. On exhibit here one finds imported objects from Aquileia, vessels, bronze and glass pieces, dress items and, naturally, worked amber ornaments as well. The relationship was not only measurable in terms of objects however, but also interms of traditions of building construction and burial customs as well. The exhibition treats all these subjects in detail.
