Gallo-Roman Museum

The Gallo-Roman Museum exhibits collections spanning from Neanderthal times through Roman civilization with artifacts, reconstructions, and archaeological findings from the region.

The museum originated from archaeological discoveries gathered by the Royal History and Antiquarian Society of Tongeren during the 19th century before its official establishment in 1954.

The permanent exhibition presents the evolution of human societies in the region, from early humanoids to the emergence of Christianity in Northern Europe.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 09:00 and 17:00, with extended hours until 18:00 on weekends, and admission prices range from 1 euro for children to 8 euros for adults.

In 2011, this institution became the first Belgian museum to receive the European Museum of the Year Award for its archaeological presentations and educational programs.
