The outside area as shown here. Unfortunately it is not open in winter. This represents the palisade and the fortifications as they stood here 2000 years ago.The interior is a little south of it. This shines with many types of exhibits.The outdoor area can only be accessed with a ticket.

The museum shows numerous finds from Roman times. Outside there is the partial replica of a Roman camp.

With the construction of the LWL Roman Museum, the idea of reconstructing parts of the main Roman camp in the outdoor area was born. Now the idea of the “Aliso Roman construction site” directly behind the museum has become reality. After more than four years of construction, the first building was rebuilt in 2016. Part of the wood-earth wall and the western gate of the Roman main camp give an impression of the imposing architecture of antiquity. In 2022 the guardhouse at the West Gate was added.
