His collection includes 1,800 items in the fields of archaeology, ethnology, cultural history, fine arts and non-European cultures. You can find an authentic contact with the past in the Church of St. George in Legen, where archaeologists discovered Old Slavic graves which are on display through a glass walking surface.
