Archaeological finds from the cemetery of Hallstatt
Objects from the Hallstatt cemetery have been part of the collection of the OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH since it was founded in the 19th century. It is the finds from Isidor Engl's excavations that were brought to the museum in Linz. Hallstatt, the eponymous site of the Hallstatt culture, which shaped Central Europe between 750 and 450 BC, yielded graves richly furnished with bronze, iron and amber grave goods. These are still the subject of scientific research and interpretation today.
