This is basically 3 museums, on 3 different floors. The day pass would be best if you want to see more than 2 museums. There was also a temporary exhibition. It was amazing to see, but I wish there was an audio guide or a guided tour. There was a written guide which was nice, but it would be much better if you could walk and listen. Also the layout of the museums were a bit confusing. In some ro...

The museum is definitely worth a visit! We visited the museum on the first Sunday of the month, so the entrance was free. Not only can you walk trough the furnished old palace rooms, but there also is an exhibition with artefacts from times up to the Stone Age! Really impressive! And on top, the staff was really friendly.

The archaeology museum in its basement is small but well put together with a few reconstructed Roman rooms which work well. The decorative arts museum has the bedrooms of Napoléon and Marie Antoinette in it. Worth a visit, opposite the cathedral. You can buy a 24 hr pass th...

The sunlight reflects on the paintings too much and in a professional way the lights ne...
