The Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) in Mainz is a leading research institute and museum dedicated to the study of human history through archaeology. Founded in 1852 as the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, LEIZA has evolved into a globally recognized center for archaeological research. It explores the development of human societies across three million years, from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, focusing on the Old World and its contact zones. Supported by the Leibniz Association and the German federal states, LEIZA combines scientific inquiry with public education through exhibitions, publications, and international dialogue. Its new headquarters in Mainz, inaugurated in 2023, features state-of-the-art labs, archives, and a forthcoming permanent exhibition. LEIZA’s mission is to deepen understanding of human behavior and societal change through material culture, offering insights that help reflect on the present and shape the future.
