About
Quick facts: Holds more than 100,000 items, of which around 3,000 are regularly displayed. The gold collection includes more than 3,000 pieces of jewelry and vessels from the 5th millennium BC, placing it among the oldest worked gold objects in the world.
Highlights: In showcase number 1 lies the oldest worked gold treasure in the world, over 6,500 years old.
