About
Frankfurt's city museum of archaeology fills the medieval church of a former Carmelite monastery and traces the region from its first farmers, about 7,500 years ago, to the 20th century.
Standouts include a Celtic prince's grave from the city forest, Roman finds from the town of Nida with reliefs from four Mithras temples, a Roman painter's grave, and objects from ancient Egypt, Greece and Cyprus.
