The mysterious era of the Hallstatt culture comes to life in the Celtic World Frög on the eastern edge of the Villach Basin in the Austrian Eastern Alps. It is a burial ground from the Hallstatt period with around 600 burial mounds, which was occupied between about 800 and 600 BC.

The burial mounds themselves are monuments of an upper class. And the finds from these graves reveal the life of the ruling clique. About 500 burial mounds are said to have once existed, but by the time the explorers and researchers of modern times became aware of them, most had already been looted.

It was a culture without writing and largely without images. Thus, questions about religious ideas and ritual acts can only be addressed fundamentally.

A princely hall was also reconstructed. Extraordinary grave goods from the tumuli are exhibited here. Bronze buckets and others made of red-coloured clay, but also jugs whose uses were functionally evident.

The graves are considered to reflect the society of the time.

Gods, graves and 3,000 years of history. The Celtic world in Frög brings this to light. A journey back to our roots through time.
