Okay, I was really new to it.. I was walking in the park.. Forgot the name of it, but you can't miss it, it's in the middle of town and right at the spot where it's behind some university faculty, there's a spot where people play giant chess. it's cool.
The little archeologic exhibition in Darmstadt’s State Museum is dominated by a 7 x 4,7 m mosaic floor of roman age, 175 AD. It shows Oceanus, the oldest aquatic deity of Greek-roman mythology, around him several half human, half animal figures, fish and birds being grouped.
The material used for the rich color play in the mosaic are red and yellow pieces of brick, black, white, grey and violet marble and some blue and green glass cubes.
This mosaic once was part of the thermal facilities the Romans have established in 2nd century in Bad Vilbel, part of greater the Frankfurt area (where today’s famous brand of sparkling water is originated). The museum page tells that the mosaic was laid inclined, so that the water flowing over it, created the image of the figures moving slightly.

It is a small town, but it is really worth a little stop, if you are interested in history. There is a building, called 'hall of the kings' (Koenigshalle). It was built in 774 and belongs since 1992 to the World Heritage List of the Unesco. The hall had two purposes: The first was to have a big room for the audiences of Karl der Große, a german emperor, the other was to have a representative entrance for the church, but the monastery doesn't exist any more. Just on the other site of the street, in the museum, there is a model of it.
People who walk to the theater from the nearby Luisenplatz go past this building which looks like a smaller version of the Pantheon in Rome, but is actually a church that was built in 1827 by the architect Georg Moller.
See the 'Kuensterlkolonie' (Artists' Village)
Several interesting museums and exhibits, especially for those interested
in Art Noveau (early 1900s). Established by a land grant of the local
duke to several artisans.
Contains the Wedding Tower, an original Russian Chapel, a museum
with varying exhibitions, an Art Noveau museum, and several artisans'
houses worth looking at and photographing
