Rhineland State Museum Trier

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.

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.

Fantastic museum! Amazing range of artifacts, from prehistory to the Roman era and more! Note for tourists is that none of the displays are in English, only in German, and the audio guide is only for certain displays. Furthermore, no internet is available, and data connection inside the museum is poor, so I would reccomend downloading the German dictionary on google translate. So you can translate things you are interested in!! It's an amazing museum :))

Very nice museum, i was really impressed by the huge collection of artifacts. Specially the Roman Tombs are insane. You can visit at least two to three hours here.. Also, they have a multimedia show at 12, extra cost, around these Roman tombs. So why 4 stars and not 5? Well, German signs all over the place, hardly anything in other language. You can get a free audio tour though. Another thing, the multimedia show, we took the Dutch language guide, but the sound in German was so loud, you could here it through the headphone. Also context about what you see is erm... Nowhere, honestly i had no idea what this show was about.... So yes, fantastic museum, could be better if they think more about other languages....

Went to an excellent Marcus Aurelius exhibition. Well curated, easy to follow with a good mix of artefacts and modern models and supporting material. Most of it bar the smaller items had English translations and the English audio guide was great bar some entertaining translations 🙂 Recommended though it closes at 5. Made it round the main section in about 2 hours so if you want to see more of the other bits come early.

Very quiet on a Saturday morning. It is very large and has so much. Too bad every description is only in German, I did have an audio guide but that was only for a few pieces.
