The display cabinet No. 1: On the Hemmaberg Mountain, a fragment of a Greek vessel from the fifth century BC was found for the first time. The princes of the Hallstatt culture fostered the same drinking tradition in the alpine area as the nobility of the Mediterranean area. Just like the Greeks, they mixed wine with water. They bought valuable drinking bowls and vessels from the Etruscans in Athens.

The display cabinet No. 2: Finding, removing and mounting of mosaics.
(Richtiges Foto folgt in Kürze)

The removal of the mosaic runs in the reverse order to the installation. First you glue substance onto stones so they can be removed from the antique–style mortar bed. Then you push the plates under the individual sections and fix the edges of the substance band with cramp-irons onto the plates. The individual mosaic surfaces are laid into new mortar beds and afterwards the substance is removed.
