Photo and description

Burgenland was formed as a result of the merger of three Old Hungarian committees - Wieselburg, Odenburg and Eisenburg. The Burgenland Land Museum is located in Eisenstadt at Museumgasse 1-5. On three floors of the museum, exhibits are presented that tell about the history and culture of this Austrian land from ancient times to the present day.

The exhibition on the ground floor is called Lebensbilder, which literally means "pictures of life", and consists of numerous works by local artists, reflecting the main historical moments of the region.

The second floor is called Lebensroyme, that is, "living spaces". Here, the history helps to make music. Visitors are offered special turntables with headphones, since each exhibition - from the exhibition of fossils of ancient animals to the composition representing the modern national park Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel - is dedicated to a separate melody.

In the basement, called Lebenspuren - "traces of life", tells about the history of Burgenland in the period from the 6th century BC to the end of the era of Roman rule. A separate room is dedicated to the so-called Roman Amber Route - one of the most significant trade routes of antiquity, which allowed the Romans to get to the lower reaches of the Danube, bypassing the hard-to-reach Alpine passes.

Every day, the museum organizes special excursions for young visitors, during which they can not only get acquainted with the local history, but also literally touch it with their hands: try to assemble a jug from fragments of clay, touch the piano keys of the century before last, read a newspaper from the First World War.
