The exhibition, organized since 1995, aims at providing an glimpse of the results of the archaeological excavations at the museum in 2007. The exhibition will be larger than ever displaying finds from prehistoric periods, the period of the Roman occupation and the Migration period from excavations conducted in the area of Budapest.

The Budapest Historical Museum carried out more than 70 excavations last year, bring to light more than 200,000 objects, making it difficult to select objects for this exhibition. The present exhibition concentrates on anthropomorphic depictions so that the prehistoric idol and vessel with a face motif as well as Roman anthropomorphic vessels will be on display. The most exciting find of the 2007 season and also in the exhibition is the limestone life-size statue of a Roman soldier shown wearing a cruirass. Prehistoric and Roman ceramic and glass vessels, metal objects, jewelery and grave steles will also be on display. The exhibition will be complemented by an interactive part for young people and also an interior showing everyday-life in an excavation.

Thus, the unique archaeological finds discovered in 2007 demonstrate once again that there is always "something new under the ground": the archaeological heritage of Budapest is particularly rich and surprises await both researchers and visitors.
