Source
The Franziskanermuseum, situated in the former Franciscan monastery in Villingen-Schwenningen, is a cultural-historical museum. It offers a comprehensive insight into the city's history from its beginnings to the present day. Additionally, it provides a deep dive into the folklore of the Black Forest and the Celtic princely tomb Magdalenenberg. This museum is a great place for tourists interested in history, culture, and folklore.
The Magdalenenberg Exhibit
One of the key attractions of the Franziskanermuseum is the Magdalenenberg, the largest Celtic burial mound in Central Europe. The museum houses an original preserved burial chamber and a large part of the finds from the mound. These include weapons, jewelry, and everyday objects. This exhibit provides a unique opportunity for tourists to explore the Celtic history and culture.
Interactive Experience with GeheimnisGräberei
The Franziskanermuseum offers an engaging way to explore the Magdalenenberg through an Augmented-Reality game titled GeheimnisGräberei. This game, which can be borrowed for free at the museum's cash desk, tells a fictional story about the Magdalenenberg and presents reconstruction hypotheses for the former grave furnishings. This interactive experience adds an extra layer of enjoyment for tourists visiting the museum.
