Also, a grave mound has been constructed the way it could have been like in the Iron Age in Mitterkirchen, and it is even accessible. The village is known for its Iron Age pottery and metal object reconstructions. The museum regularly offers workshops with different themes. Of course there is also a restaurant with hot and cold meals. The museum has regular exhibitions and documentaries. When the archaeological open air museum opened with the grave mound and three houses ready the interest of visitors was that high, that soon it was decided to enlarge the museum presentation. In the first 15 years, over 350,000 people visited the Keltendorf Mitterkirchen. Biannually, in the first weekend of September a Keltenfest is organised with 2,500 – 3,000 visitors. The Keltendorf is the 5th most important employee in the village. The Marktgemeinde Mitterkirchen im M. is being supported with scientific advice by the Landesmuseum Oberösterreich, Abteilung Ur- und Frühgeschichte.
Starting activities were excavations in 1981.
