Museum of Archaeology

The Museum of Archaeology, together with the Museum of Nature, is located in the heart of Frauenfeld's old town. The exhibition shows the rich archaeological heritage of the canton of Thurgau from the pile dwellers to the Celts and the Romans. Admission is free.

On an exciting tour, visitors to the Museum of Archaeology in Frauenfeld explore 10,000 years of the Canton of Thurgau's past. The finds from the local pile dwellings - a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011 - provide interesting information about everyday life in the Lake Constance region thousands of years ago. Highlights include the oldest gold vessel in Switzerland and a Gallo-Roman wooden statue. Exciting temporary exhibitions complete the offer. The new member of staff, Archie the Badger, takes families on a search for clues through the museum, lets them look for details in the display cases and encourages them to draw and do handicrafts. There is a reward for the correct answer. The Thurgau Nature Museum is also located under the same roof. The joint archaeobotanical garden in the forecourt of the museums brings the diversity and history of our cultivated and useful plants to life. After the tour, the museum café invites you to linger. The museum and garden are barrier-free.
