The World of the Celts

Centres of power – Treasures of art

Under the title “The World of the Celts. Centres of power – Treasures of art”, the Baden-Württemberg State Museum of Archaeology and the Württemberg State Museum are showing a special exhibition dedicated to the Celts of the first millennium BC and their role as one of the formative forces in European history.

From 15 September 2012 to 17 February 2013, visitors can experience what will probably be the largest exhibition of Celtic artefacts in the last thirty years. The special exhibition will present outstanding original finds, in some cases objects never before exhibited in Germany, in two large topical blocks on display at two locations near Schlossplatz at the very centre of Stuttgart.

Centres of power

on display in the Stuttgart “Kunstgebäude”, illustrates the evolution of Celtic civilization in Central and Western Europe between the 7th and 1st centuries BC – from the start of the Iron Age to the arrival of the Romans.   

Treasures of art

in the “Altes Schloss”, focuses on the uniquely creative art of the ancient Celts, which constituted the first significant contribution of a northern civilization to European art history.
