In Metz, culture is alive on every street corner, and museums are one of its richest reflections. A city at the crossroads of European history, Metz has successfully promoted its heritage while embracing contemporary creativity. Its museums offer a variety of experiences, from treasures of the past to original exhibitions, in places where visitors can take the time to look, understand and feel.
The museums of Metz offer a real dive into local and regional history. Archaeological collections, medieval works, classical paintings, sculptures, artistic works... Each museum offers a different perspective on the eras and cultures that have shaped the city. We explore the Gallo-Roman roots of Metz, its role in the heart of Europe, its unique artistic identity.
But these institutions are not content to tell the story of the past: they are opening up to other forms of expression, integrating modern facilities, and constantly renewing their themes. The temporary exhibitions allow you to come back regularly with a fresh eye.
Whether you are passionate about art, a history buff or simply curious, everyone will find their place in the museums of Metz. Guided tours, family-friendly tours, creative workshops for children and adults, and interactive digital devices make visits accessible, fun and enriching.
Metz museums are committed to creating a living link with their visitors. They are not only places of exhibition, but real spaces for transmission, meeting and experimentation.
