As a person interested in Roman history I found thismuseum highly memorable and in most cases items are described in English as well as German and French. The multi-floor arrangement has been given a great deal of thought in its construction. More

Before my first visit I hadn't realised the amount of material to be viewed. That visit coincided with an exhibition of the late Roman occupation and the presentation was world class. Visiting the museum allows for a greater grasp of the importance of the city in european history. More

This Museum was nice, and had several floors, however they had many duplicates of the same items. The coolest thing is the floor murals...that is very well preserved. More

It was interesting but it could be more interactive, it's too stiff and the explanation texts could tell more without being so dull. It helps if you go with someone who knows the city's history well More
