Aquincum Archeological Museum

 
In the rooms of the Archaeological Museum, opened in 1894, are exhibited cult objects, sculptures, fragments of mosaics, implements, vessels, coins and jewelry. Among the most valuable exhibits are the water-organ of A.D. 288, which has become famous, a Jupiter column, a marble Diana and a marble Minerva, a statue of Mithras and a written document dated A.D. 19 (the oldest piece of writing so far found in Hungary); gems and ivory-carvings have also recently been found.

In the Pillared Hall and in the Lapidarium can be seen some fine stone-carvings, including altars, gravestones and reliefs.
