This historical and archaeological museum studies the old world or the wood as we knew it before the discovery of the Americas.  It is as much a research Institute as a museum.  The museum is divided into seven departments such as:

• The Roman age department - that follows various Roman provinces.
• Late antiquity and early medieval ages department - over 3000 exhibits North African tableware, Byzantine gold jewellery and so on.
• The prehistory department, which is as of 2015 going through some renovation. It is now closed for now.

Make sure you see the 1800 year old Sundial, which is a museum treasure.

• There is parking very close to the museum.
• Wheelchair accessible so long you call ahead.

• There may be charges for special exhibitions.

• Bus lines 6, 6, 64, 65, 99 to the stop Bauhofstraße / LRP Landesbank.

• Deutschhaus Mainz
• 50 Grad
