My husband and I had been several times in Tongeren over the years, but only visited the Teseum for the first time in March 2021. It turned out to be an unexpected gem. The entrance to the museumis located in a building adjacent to the side of the Basilica of Our Lady. The museum consists of an underground archaeological part and an above-ground church treasure and cloister. You can choose to visit these separately or buy a combination ticket (= preferable!) In the archaeological section you'll discover Roman grave finds, the underfloor heating system of a Roman bathhouse of the 3rd century AD, remnants of the different foundations of the Basilica, and a Romanesque cellar. On the first floor of the above-ground museum you can see statues of saints and relics, and on the second floor, a treasury contains reliquaries of various shapes and precious materials. Finally in the cloister you can see tomb slabs which originated from the Basilica and churchyard. The corridor encircles a beuatiful garden, and the capitals of the window columns are all decorated in a different way.
