Gallo-Roman Museum

Gallo-Romeins Museum

Nowhere is learning about the distant past as much fun as it is here. The distant past started some 500,000 years ago and continued until the early Middle Ages. Neanderthals, the first Homo sapiens, Celts, Eburones and, of course, Romans and Germanic tribes - they all pass muster.

Learning takes on a whole new dimension here. It takes the form of active discovery: experiencing, deepening your understanding, establishing links, questioning... You come to understand why the past is as it is and you achieve that in a dynamic and inspiring environment. Whatever your age, learning has never been so exciting!

The Gallo-Roman Museum also regularly organizes temporary exhibitions. These introduce new scientific insights and you get to see show-pieces loaned from other museums in Belgium and abroad.

Be sure to check out our diary of activities, which gives details of lectures, events, special programmes, etc. We also have an excellent programme for school groups.

The element of surprise is not restricted to our exhibitions. The extraordinary architecture, the warm welcome, the attractive museum shop and the convivial Museum Kafee all add to the enjoyment of a visit. You are then ready to explore Tongeren, Belgium’s oldest and perhaps most charming city.

See you soon... at the Gallo-Roman Museum!
