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. * Altar of the oriental god Mithra. * Jupiter Column of Merten * Emile Friant autoportrait * Gallo-Roman Stele of a stonemason * Man with a mouth harp
