Curtius Museum

The Curtius Museum sits in a red brick palace and displays decorative arts, weapons, religious objects, and glassware across its connected interior spaces. The collections span multiple floors within this substantial historic building.

The palace was built in the early 1600s and later transformed into a museum to house the city's art collections. The building itself reflects the construction style of that period.

The palace rooms show how a wealthy family lived during the 1600s through their furnishings and daily objects. Walking through reveals the tastes and habits of people from that era.

The museum can be walked through at a relaxed pace since the rooms are clearly laid out and the space does not feel crowded. It works well for a half day or full day depending on your interest in the different sections.

The glass section holds rare pieces from different regions and periods, including work from Venice and local production from the Meuse valley. Collectors and glass enthusiasts often seek out this particular collection.
