This is a very good museum. Free entry, apart from some exhibitions you have to pay few euros for if you want to see them. Some things are in English, and some are not. This problem is solved by an audio guide, but that is not possible at the moment due to covid-19. However, since it's a free entry I have no complaints, and would highly recommend it.…

It took two years to restore but it is quite magnificent, and displayed along with a variety of sculptured pieces, fragments of other tile mosaics and wall frescos, coins, and other artifacts from the Vichten area.…

The exhibitions were extensive and well laid out for a nice experience. Unfortunately we were unable to take in the extent of meaning and history as there were no English translations for the text. Despite this, we still had a nice time when it was raining in the City and stumbled across the museum.…
