After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, society in our region collapsed - at least that's what researchers assumed for a long time. But was that really the case? Archaeological finds paint a completely different picture of people's lives in the early Middle Ages. Products of local crafts, a wide trading network, innovations in swordsmithing and a new way of burying the dead all point to major changes. This time of upheaval is also brought to life by many interactive elements in the exhibition.
