History to Savor: Rediscover the Romans at SchichtWerk
At SchichtWerk – Time Travel at the Wersonhaus in Gilching, the special exhibition “Dining with the Romans – History to Savor” invites a sensory exploration of work. Between May 10 and September 15, 2026, an art experience of a special kind unfolds: not painting or sculpture is in the spotlight, but rather food and drink culture, everyday history, and archaeological communication.
Roman Culinary Culture as a Lively Exhibition Experience
The exhibition focuses on the question of what life tasted like in the Roman Empire. Visitors encounter ingredients, flavors, and culinary traditions as part of a historical narrative that connects everyday life, trade, and social order. Thus, ancient culture is not conveyed abstractly, but as an aesthetic experience with spatial impact, materiality, and tangible interactive stations.
Archaeology, Museum Education, and Participation
SchichtWerk is known for its vivid communication: Tours, programs for groups, families, and children, as well as accompanying formats deepen the exhibition. The emphasis is on cultural education and an approach that brings together knowledge, memory, and sensory perception. Complementing the exhibition visit, the accompanying program ensures that history is not only viewed but understood.
A Place with Historical Profile
The museum itself is dedicated to the historical layers of Gilching and showcases archaeological evidence from Roman and early medieval times. The place connects regional history with a clear pedagogical concept. This context makes the special exhibition particularly appealing: Those who come to Gilching experience not only a museum but a carefully curated journey through the past.
Conclusion
“Dining with the Romans – History to Savor” combines knowledge, atmosphere, and a thirst for discovery into a rewarding exhibition visit. The combination of free admission, archaeological perspective, and sensory communication makes the event at SchichtWerk a cultural highlight of the summer. Definitely experience it live and discover Roman culinary culture with all senses.
