The Museum of Metz (''Musée de la Cour d'Or - Metz Métropole''), in
Metz,
France, was founded in 1839.
It is a labyrinthine organization of rooms, incorporating the ancient Petites Carmes Abbey, the Chèvremont granary, and the Trinitaires church. The institution is organized into four broad sections:
*The history and archeological museum, containing rich collections of
Gallo-Roman finds — extension works to the museums in the 1930s revealed the vestiges of Gallo-Roman baths;
*The medieval department;
*The museum of architecture;
*The museum of fine arts.
The museum recreates the world of the ancient and medieval city's inhabitants.
