Roman Culinary Culture You Can Touch at SchichtWerk Gilching
At the Museum SchichtWerk - Time Travel in the Wersonhaus, the special exhibition Dining with the Romans – History to Bite Into invites you on a vivid time travel into everyday life of antiquity. The presentation combines archaeology, museum education, and sensory object examination into an artistic experience that does not explain history abstractly, but makes it immediately tangible.
When Ancient Kitchen Comes to Life
The exhibition shows what Roman dining and drinking culture might have looked like: with a reconstructed food stall, Latin menu, herbs to sniff, and recipes that have been specially prepared. Visitors encounter antiquity here not as a distant image but as a space full of smells, materials, and concrete everyday stories. Particularly impressive: the opportunity to taste ancient dishes and experience historical flavors.
Archaeology Meets Communication
SchichtWerk is known as a place of mediation that uncovers history layer by layer. The museum works with participatory stations, illustrative objects, and a clear didactic language. The special exhibition fits into this curatorial approach and also connects with the permanent exhibition on Romans and Bavarians. This creates a coherent picture of cultural history, traces of settlement, and regional memory.
A Supporting Program with Flavor and Knowledge
The exhibition includes a comprehensive supporting program with an opening event, lectures, herb stations, cooking workshops, and a closing event on the Day of Open Monuments. This connection of hands-on experience and historical context is what makes the exhibit appealing. Anyone interested in Roman cuisine, everyday culture, archaeology, and cultural education will find a versatile offering for families, individual visitors, and culture-hungry explorers.
A Museum with Recognition and Identity
SchichtWerk has been awarded for its educational concept and is part of a regionally anchored museum landscape. The exhibition benefits from this authority: it does not rely on mere spectacle but on comprehensible research, local history, and careful museum staging. This is precisely where its strength lies as an educational offering and artistic experience in a broader sense.
Conclusion: This special exhibition promises a lively encounter with the Roman world, rich in details, flavor, and historical atmosphere. Those who wish to not only read history but experience it with all their senses should definitely visit SchichtWerk in Gilching live.
