Since it opened its doors at the end of March last year, more than 56.000 people have visited this previously unpublished collection at MARQ, which covers the beginnings of the decline of the Roman Empire on the Germanic frontiers, as well as various aspects of the daily life of the inhabitants of these territories (3rd century AD).
The international exhibition faces its final days at the Alicante museum On the occasion of the farewell of this exhibition, the Alicante centre has organized two dramatised visits in sign language which will allow people with hearing disabilities to get to know the exhibition and enjoy its pieces. These sessions, which are free of charge (prior registration required) and will last one hour, will take place on Saturday 27 October at 5.30 p.m. and on Sunday 28 October at 12.30 p.m..
The Didactics Department of the MARQ has developed this initiative in collaboration with the Associació de Persones Sordes de L'Alacanti -APESOA- with the aim of improving the quality of life and promoting autonomy and integration of persons with disabilities in different social spheres.
More than 600 pieces rescued from under the Rhine from the Palatinate Historical Museum in the German town of Speyer, make up the exhibition "The Treasure of the Barbarians", which is being presented for the first time in Spain. The Treasure of NeupotzOne of the main attractions of this exhibition, which also includes the famous mirror with the relief of the goddess Minerva, two valuable silver goblets fragmented with an axe, and the Hagenbach and Lingenfeld treasures, also recovered from the German waters, is one of the largest collections of Roman-era metalwork in Europe.
The exhibition also features several thematic areas that help the public to enjoy a unique tour of the Roman Empire. The reconstruction of spaces such as the Augsburg Altarthe streets of a Roman market or a temple in the south of France are some of the museographic resources that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the historical context of the treasure.
