The Sanctuary of Isis and Magna Mater was a Roman religious complex built in the 1st century CE in Mogontiacum. Builders working on the Römerpassage shopping centre uncovered it by chance in 1999; since 2003 the excavated walls have been displayed in place as the Taberna Archaeologica, reached via a glass walkway in the centre's basement.
The Gutenberg Museum was founded in 1900 and holds two copies of the Gutenberg Bible along with printing equipment, type and books spanning the history of writing and printing. Since its historic home near the cathedral closed for redevelopment in 2024, the collection is shown in an interim exhibition inside the Natural History Museum building on Reichklarastraße.
The Landesmuseum Mainz traces its collection to 1803, when Napoleon and Jean-Antoine Chaptal donated paintings to the city. Housed since 1937 in the former electoral stables, it holds works spanning prehistoric Venus figurines and Roman sculpture to Baroque furnishings and 19th- and 20th-century paintings, including pieces by Picasso and Hans Baldung Grien.
