One of the tourist highlights
of Tongeren is the Gallo-Romeins Museum (Gallo-Roman Museum). The
museum has 18,000 artifacts dating from prehistory through the
Roman and Merovingian periods. The Roman period is especially
well-represented, and includes huge and important collections of relics from
Roman Atuatuca Tungrorum, its cemetery, and the surrounding countryside. In
fact, from the province of Limburg alone, there are collections of Roman-era
pottery, glassware, bronze articles, terra-cotta, and sculptures. They are
organized by theme to illustrate everyday life in the countryside and the
city, including exhibits on religious practices and traditions.
