Experience Roman Dining Culture Anew: The Special Exhibition in Gilching
At SchichtWerk – Time Travel in the Wersonhaus in Gilching, the special exhibition Dining with the Romans - History to Savor focuses on the eating and drinking culture of antiquity. The exhibition invites visitors to an archaeologically grounded examination of the work and connects everyday history, museum education, and sensory communication to create an impressive artistic experience of historical significance.
Ancient Cuisine Between Daily Life and Ritual
What did the Roman Empire taste like? The exhibition tells the story of dishes, spices, table manners, and ingredients that shaped Roman daily life. In a museum presentation emphasizing vivid communication, visitors encounter ancient eating culture not only as historical knowledge but as a vibrant cultural experience.
Archaeology You Can Touch
SchichtWerk is known for its didactically strong presentation: Layers of history are not explained abstractly here, but made sensory and experiential.

The presentation makes clear how closely materiality, culinary arts, and identity were connected in antiquity.
Accompanying Program and Communication
The special exhibition includes a broad accompanying program that makes the visit attractive for families, school classes, and culture-interested groups. The exhibition connects with the Roman permanent exhibition of the house and deepens the topic with illustrative approaches. Particularly the combination of research, communication, and regional archaeology gives the visit a special authority.
