The Aquincum Museum, located in Budapest's Óbuda district, showcases the remains of the ancient Roman city of Aquincum. Established on May 10, 1894, it is Hungary's largest collection of Roman archaeological artifacts. Visitors can explore the extensive archaeological park, featuring ruins of public buildings, residential structures, and a reconstructed Roman house. Key attractions include the Aquincum Water Organ and a variety of mosaics and sculptures from the Roman era. The museum's new building, opened in 2007, hosts the permanent exhibition "In the Shadow of the Roman Eagle," which highlights the life of soldiers along the Pannonian limes. The museum is accessible by public transport and offers guided tours. Admission fees are reasonable, but check the official website for specific details on visiting hours and pricing.
