Heaven and Earth - Early Medieval Treasures for Eternity

Archäologisches Museum Colombischlössle

Heaven, hell or paradise? The question of whether there is life after death and what it looks like has preoccupied people since time immemorial. The ideas that existed in the religious world of the early Middle Ages and how the deceased were treated at that time are shown in staged burial rituals and precious grave goods in the new treasure chamber of the Colombischlössle.
