Aquincumi Múzeum
Aquincumi Múzeum brings you into one of Budapest’s clearest Roman stories: the ancient settlement of Aquincum. The museum first opened in May 1894, and it now presents archaeological finds from Aquincum’s remains in both an indoor and an outdoor setting. Among the most telling objects are items connected to a local mithraeum—evidence of the cult of Mithras that left its own traces in Roman-era religious life along the Danube. The museum’s collection is also tied to the visible landscape of Aquincum, where outdoor ruins help explain how the settlement worked beyond the artifacts alone. This site’s modern history is just as specific: Paula Zsidi served as museum director from 1989 until 2015, shaping the institution during a long stretch of conservation and public education. The Aquincumi Múzeum is operated by Budapesti Történeti Múzeum and forms part of Budapest History Museum.
