Musée de la Cour d'Or
A city museum built over the remains of an ancient Roman bathhouse, taking you from Gallo-Roman artifacts to medieval painted wooden ceilings.
The Musée de la Cour d'Or is made up of several linked historic buildings. Beneath it lie the remains of a Gallo-Roman public bathhouse. The archaeology galleries display Roman tombstones and Merovingian gold jewelry. The medieval section features 13th-century painted wooden ceilings and carved screens taken from the Abbey of Saint-Pierre, and there is also a 15th-century granary building and an art museum. It is a three-minute walk north of the cathedral. Admission is about 7 euros, and the museum is closed on Tuesdays.
