Rhineland State Museum Trier

What an amazing museum. Firstly, you leave your belongings in a little locker, very useful. The quality of the artefacts is so high. The Roman section is so good. The prehistoric times exceptional. The model of the Roman city is the best I have seen and so helpful to imagine the times gone by.

Absolutely a hidden gem in Trier. Initially, I was skeptical about this museum, believing that it could not have much! But on the contrary, it was packed with history. After entering and paying for the tickets (near the museum shop) you fully emerge into the chronological history of Trier and the region all around it. As a lover of the Bronze Age and the Greco-Roman ages. I was marvelled by their collection. Totally forgetting that Trier was at some point the Capital of the Western Roman Empire! The collection ranges from the early bronze age to the late medieval era, although it does specifically concentrate its main points into its Roman era. What I truly recommend seeing is their Roman coin collection and the Mosaics! An absolute marvel ranging from Julius Caesar to Justinian. Furthermore, they mention the falsification of coins which I found interesting. The mosaics were in such an incredible well state it was impressive. As a downside, it has a lot of stairs for those that may have troubles but they do have elevators, you will just have to go back and forth a bit. Thank you for reading!

Archeological museum focusing on Roman-era Germany. Especially impressive mosaics, and you can view them from a little balcony above. Exhibit signage is mostly in German only. English audio tour available. Entry fee is reasonable. Not at all busy on a holiday Friday. Free lockers. Cafe.

This museum excels in displaying and describing archaeological artifacts from the surrounding region. It boasts an extensive collection of Roman-era artifacts, setting it apart from most other archaeological museums in the area. The museum is clean, well-organized, and provides a complimentary audio guide. However, since most of the descriptions are in German, it’s advisable to use a device like Google Translate to understand them. Fortunately, the audio guide is available in English.

The museum is a very big and beautiful building in itself. The ticket price is affordable. The collection is extensive and very impressive. We are very happy that we have visited this place. The only thing that bothered us is that the lady who was giving directions at the entrance was not very friendly and the ticket person was also not so welcoming. The first impression was therefore not as good as it could have been. The museum made up for it by being very interesting and diverse and with a fascinating collection. The level of craftmanship and artistry of our ancestors is beyond your imagination. The museum also gave us a better context and understanding of the city of Trier. But a friendly welcome would have been the 5th star. It is so easy and costs nothing to give a smile and friendliness.

An extremely interesting museum. However, when we purchased our tickets we were not offered an audio guide which we found out later was free of charge. There is very little written in English in the museum. It would have been a much nicer visit had we been provided with the guide.

Extensive and impressive archaeological collection of important finds from the city and surrounding area. Particularly strong on Roman artefacts and large structures. Beautiful mosaics, statues, tombs, and a treasury. Highly recommended! English texts could be more extensive, most descriptions are only in German.

Nice museum, very good collection but I find the staff was not very helpful. There were so little English transcription near the artifacts, I guess they expected tourists to learn german language before entering the museum. Personally I think that was a shame for such museum.
