The Musée de la Cour d'Or in Metz offers a journey through time, from the Gallo-Roman era to the 19th century. Housed in a former Carmelite convent and adjoining medieval buildings, the museum is famous for its preserved ancient thermal baths, which you can view in situ. The collection includes Roman sculptures, Merovingian artifacts, medieval stained glass and architectural fragments, and a fine arts section with works by local and European painters. Visitors can wander through reconstructed rooms, climb a medieval tower for city views, and see the foundations of the ancient Roman city of Divodurum. The museum's layout weaves through different historical layers, making it a unique experience that connects Metz's past with its present.
