Lovely museum and definitely worth visiting, though a little under-interpreted. The history of the city is obviously fascinating, but would benefit from more context or at least signposting to another museum where you can find broader context (e.g. Why did Charles the Bold burn the place down? Why was the cathedral destroyed to begin with? These things are alluded to presumably assuming background knowledge but never actually explained.) You often find yourself looking at undated finds or remains and wondering what exactly you are looking at (part of the Roman villa? the gothic cathedral? something else?) Some additional signposting would be great for those of us who aren't experts. I suggest getting the tablet because the booklet doesn't actually include all the content. I found the part acknowledging the challenges getting local politics to see the value of the site refreshing. Clearly sense prevailed in the end.
