From Neanderthal to Gallo-Roman

Anyone walking through Tongeren can sense everywhere they go that this is no ordinary city. Beneath its streets and squares lies a history stretching back thousands of years. At the Gallo-Roman Museum, you’ll discover how people in our region lived, worked, and lived together—from prehistory to the end of the Roman era.

The permanent exhibition brings together archaeological finds and human stories in an accessible way. This makes the museum fascinating for culture lovers, curious children, and anyone who truly wants to understand the region.

A cultural outing for any kind of weather

The museum is a great place to spend a quiet day and an ideal outing when the weather in Limburg isn’t cooperating. Combine your visit with a stroll through the historic center, past the Grote Markt, Ambiorix, and the Basilica of Our Lady.

If you visit on Sunday, you can combine this outing with the Tongeren Antiques Market. That way, a museum visit naturally turns into a full day filled with history, atmosphere, and surprising discoveries.
