Le Grand Curtius Museum

The collection of arms is quite impressive, although it could include a bit more of post-ww2 firearms. I must say the light is terrible in most of that section, with one case of the place being so dark I had to use a flash. Still worth a visit, they posess a number of unique items that you probably cannot see elsewhere. I only visited the firearm section so can't say anything about other parts. There are free lockers inside, and if you're under 26 the ticket is free, that seems to apply only on sundays though.

Good regional museum that could use some maps for orientation. We kept getting lost and stuck between various immersive theatre groups. I'd suggest keeping immersive theatre performances outside opening hours as it's a little confusing for visitors. The Roman glass collection is impressive as is the medieval art. I was a little disappointed by the early medieval (Merovingian / Carolingian) collections. Some objects are not stored where you'd expect. (I struggled to find the Merovingian brooch which is shown at the entrance.) Can't speak to the weapons collection as we only looked at the swords. There is a fairly random mummy on the way there.

One of the best regional museums I have come across in years. Clever and engaging displays, a beautiful and important art and archaeological collection.

Underutilized museum with interesting collection on the edge of the city center. Separate weapons museum with a few pieces you might not see anywhere else. No crowds, only a handful of other people. Worth a visit.

Excellent weapons museum, there is a lot to see

Great weapons collection, but the lighting is abysmal. How a museum director signed off on that is beyond me, and I’ve got pretty darn good low light sight. Having trouble seeing stuff in a museum is maddening. You had one job, to freakin show your collection.

Museum has probably the best collection of Rifles and Muskets we have ever seen …. From earliest Matchlocks through early breech load rifles to modern day …. A must see for any weapons buff

The Curtius Museum is a little like a local history museum with a collection worthy of a national museum. The glass collection is very special with some beautiful examples of St. Lambert and Art Nouveau glassworks. The collection of Napoleonic era clocks, the wood and stone religious sculptures are also worth a long visit. It's a pity there's very little English in the description of the exhibits. Normally I'd remove one star, but I so enjoyed the museum, I'll let this one pass.
