Museum Carnuntinum


This museum of archaeological finds is the largest of its kind in Austria, having amassed an incredible 3300 Roman treasures in its century-long existence. The museum’s highlight, Tanzende Mänade (Dancing Maenad), a marble figure with a most perfect bum, is usually displayed here.
