THE ARCHITECTURE

The monolithic structure of the museum juts out into the landscape like an uncovered archaeological find. Half-hidden in the slope, it is orientated towards the Celtic burial mound, deliberately allowing it to be the main protagonist in the surrounding landscape. The museum thus becomes a 'perception amplifier'.

The sheltered open space under the mighty overhang serves as a starting and finishing point for exploring the museum and for a tour of the archaeological park. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Glauberg landscape from the outdoor terrace of the museum bistro. A wide staircase inside the building welcomes visitors and leads them slowly into the exhibition. The enclosed body provides an exhibition situation that does justice to the light-sensitive exhibits and allows visitors to immerse themselves completely in the world of the Celts on the Glauberg.
