Haus der Museen: Archäologisches Museum Kanton Solothurn

Olten

Over the millennia, people have left their mark on the soil of today's Canton of Solothurn.

Over the millennia, people have left their traces in the soil of what is now the canton of Solothurn. They have built houses, buried their dead, lost everyday things, hidden valuable things in the ground and disposed of their waste in pits or ditches. Some things have passed away, others have survived the millennia. If you open up the soil, the history of our ancestors comes to light. It is the story of Ice Age hunters, Stone Age farmers, wealthy Celtic women, small Roman towns and medieval craftsmen. The exhibition presents the diverse legacy of 80,000 years of the past and brings the people of that time to life.
