A Hidden Gem in Metz: The Golden Courtyard Museum 🏛️✨

llowing recommendations from , I visited the Musée de La Cour d'Or (Golden Courtyard Museum) in Metz. Expecting just a small free exhibit, I was blown away—this place could easily fill an entire afternoon if you take your time! Why It’s Worth It: 🏛️ Roman Era: Learn about daily life—how they bathed, cooked, and even ate oysters! (Turns out, the Romans loved them too 🦪) 🖼️ Medieval & Renaissance Art: Church designs, religious paintings, and stunning stained-glass origins. 👑 Louis XIV’s Armor: A flashy royal portrait that screams "I am the Sun King!" ☀️ 📜 Deep Dive: Lots of French descriptions, but Google Translate saved me—reading slowly made it even more fascinating! Real Talk: By Day 10 of traveling, most of my friends hit their "museum fatigue" limit 🥱. But not me—I guess my curiosity for the world is too fiery to burn out yet! 🔥 #Metz #HiddenGems #TravelDeep #MuseumLover #FranceOffTheBeatenPath
