Excellent museum dedicated to the Metz, France area from Gallo-Roman to Renaissance times!…read more Some of my favorite parts of the museums were the Gallo-Roman baths, the Altar of Mithras, and the medieval painted ceiling with weird "animals." The museum is a bit of maze. However it is thoughtfully organized with the understanding that people can easily get lost. There are guides situated throughout the museum to guide you in a forward direction so that you don't get lost. Be patient. If you don't get to see an adjacent room in the moment, just know that you will get there. There is a time and a place. Located right next to the Cathedral Saint Etienne! Very quiet. Not crowded on a Monday. Small but interesting, and not overwhelming at all. Took me about 2 hours and I tend to linger and sit.

Everything was well-displayed and labeled, although most was in French only. We used Google to help us with translations. There are Roman baths, full skeletal remains in graves from an ancient cemetery, fine examples of woodworking, pottery, sculptures, glass, Renaissance paintings, architectural pieces, and much more! 5 euros per ticket, and my husband and I spent a full 3 hours here. We did not finish viewing the whole museum, but no worries. The tickets are good for 24 hours, so we can return to see the last of the exhibits tomorrow.
