Archaeology / Prehistoric history

The Romans are among us

Historisches Museum Baden, Baden

An extensive program on the excavations in the Baden baths.

In cooperation with the Aargau Cantonal Archaeology Department, the Baden Historical Museum is showing the mysterious discoveries from the depths of the Kurplatz. The public follows the flow of history through the layers below. It explores the mysterious finds from the depths of the Kurplatz and the Bäderquartier, many of which are being shown for the first time. It discovers the legacy of the various people who have used the hot thermal water at the Limmat bend - from disputed water rights in modern times to medieval healing powers and back to the cultic-religious center of Roman times and the legends of mystical prehistoric times.

From 27 September 2024 to 29 June 2025, visitors to the Historisches Museum Baden can look forward to an extensive program on the excavations in the Baden baths, which was created in cooperation with the Cantonal Archaeology of Aargau and the Bagni Popolari association as well as the "Zum Raben" baths. The finds tell the story of Baden's history from the Romans to modern times.

Guided tours of the baths as well as guided tours, lectures and a panel discussion in the museum explain what it means to excavate, preserve, process and make accessible Baden's archaeological finds.

Experts, including those involved in the excavations, will report on the latest research and findings on the various buildings, lifestyles and bathing habits of the time.
