LOVED this museum. Amazing Dionysus mosaic- almost completely intact. Impressive tomb of Poblicius- about 3 stories tall! Great collection of amphorae and jars, jewelry, colored glass objects... just a great museum overall. Short descriptions in English for the objects. Highly recommended!!

The mosaics are impressive, but the glass collection makes this a worthwhile visit. Witness here why the Romans were able to conquer the world or at least a big chunk of it.

The museum offers a careful selection of Antiquity remains, all very well presented. There are, of course, the mosaic floors which are very impressive, one of them can be admired from the outside. It is still in it's original location where it once adorned a dining room of an opulent roman citizen.

The Dionysius mosaic floor is worth the admission... More

It tells the story of how the recent excavations from the modern subway have led to additional understanding of the past. The center-piece of the museum is a wonderful mosaic floor found during WWII era bomb shelter construction. This museum is part of the city's Museum... More

i know you can visit museums anywhere but this one in particular is presented in such a way you can see the development of cologne in roman times, very educational
