The Museum sits on a side street and the entrance is rather plain, but don't let that turn you away. GO INSIDE! Belgium lived with the war for five long years and the exhibits in this Museum illustrate the horror that the nation endured. Never before have we seen such gritty, grimy, REALISTIC exhibits. The attention to detail is outstanding. You'll feel that you're witnessing the fighting as it happens outside your door. By all means visit the "Belgian cellar" exhibit in the basement of the Museum. It's chilling! DON'T OVERLOOK THIS REMARKABLE MUSEUM!

Admission is 14€ and I would budget around 90 minutes for a visit. There are many life size dioramas in the museum featuring several battle scenes with mannequins demonstrating what life was like in war. Also on display are many original relics from the war some fully restored and some not but all clearly annotated as to what they are. In the basement, is a room that upon entering gives a 5 minute virtual experience using sound and light of being in Bastogne during the German bombardment. I enjoyed my visit to this quality museum and recommend it.

Perhaps it is because the display of the collection is 'old-fashioned.' Be prepared because you will see so much of areas which might be of interest. 1) 3 Euros/adult , 2) Need to show some sort of ID so that they can record the information, 3) Just off the bus line #15 from the hauptbahnhof, 4) 99% of the collection is displayed indoors, 5) Sorry if your German translation isn't up to par, all the description placards are in German.

An sich reichhaltiges und anschauliches Museum, das die Geschichte Triers von den ersten…read moreBehausungen in vor-römischer Zeit bis zur Stadt im Spätmittelalter und der Renaissance illustriert. Vor allem die Ausstellungsstücke aus der Zeit der römischen Besatzung sind beeindruckend. Der Eintritt für die Dauerausstellung beträgt €8, was angesichts der Fülle und Qualität der Exponate vollkommen angemessen ist. Im Untergeschoss beherbergt das Museum ein Café/Restaurant. Wer will kann auch die aktuelle Sonderausstellung (zur Zeit: Der Untergang des römischen Reiches) für €6 zusätzlich dazu buchen, doch dafür hatte ich nicht genug Zeit. Weshalb also nur 3 Sterne? Ganz einfach, der Service. Zum Einen ist das Ticketoffice nicht in die großzügige Vorhalle integriert, obwohl genug Platz dafür wäre. Nein, man muss sich zu einer Art Dixiklo Container bewegen. Ärgerlich. Aber noch viel ärgerlicher sind die unverschämten, meist arabischen(!) "Platzwarte" in der Eingangshalle, die einen unverhohlen von Oben herab behandeln und regelrecht aggressiv sind. Einfach nur frech, unverschämt! Diese sollte man sofort feuern!!! Das hat meine Stimmung schon vor dem eigentlichen Besuch empfindlich getrübt.

The audioguides in English were very helpful with the major exhibitions and were indispensable, actually; get them and your tickets in the gift shop. Plenty of statuary, artifacts, friezes, mosaics, on and on. There is a good display of ancient Roman coinage that was interesting. We missed the grave monuments display as entrance to that is timed. On the third floor there is a great diorama of ancient Roman Trier that gives one a thorough visual layout of the ancient city in miniature. And no museum is complete without a mummy--there is a tiny one, but it counts. One star just for the mummy. The museum is worth every penny. The Bistro: there is a bistro on the ground floor in the back that has a sweeping view over a pool toward the Basilica. They serve some phenomenal food there, and the employees were very encouraging when they saw me eying the marvelous dessert display case. We had a gorgonzola-champignon soup that was excellent, had excellent bread, and a burrito. They have outstanding looking torts in that display case, but, alas, we were too full! Our waitress was very helpful in translating the menu and helping us make choices. You kind of have to wave them down to get your check and pay, but this is true at almost every place we ate at in Germany--they give you a lot of privacy and time to eat.
