The Museum of Metz (Musée de la Cour d'Or - Metz Métropole), in Metz, France, was founded in 1839.[1] 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.[1]

* Altar of the oriental god Mithra.

* Jupiter Column of Merten

* Emile Friant autoportrait

* Gallo-Roman Stele of a stonemason

* Man with a mouth harp
