The Glauburg museum, some 35 kms (21 mls) northeast of Frankfurt, the center of an archaeological park on the site of a Celtic settlement dating back to the 5th century BC (Photo taken Aug.4). The museum was opened in 2009, a few years after the spectacular excavation of a sandstone statue of the so-called ‘Celtic Prince’ that is on display inside.
