The City Museum Simeonstift in Trier shows art and cultural treasures from the Middle Ages to well into the 21th century. The exhibition is founded on a collection of valuable donations made by well-known citizens of the city. The artefacts on display are divided into a variety of sections, including paintings, sculptures, arts and crafts, Coptic textiles, furniture and small Oriental plastic art forms. The focal point of the permanent exhibition revolves around the history of the city of Trier. Regularly changing special exhibitions are dedicated to Trier’s native artists or to topics associated with the city. The collection is housed in the Roman building of the Collegiate of St. Simeon, which originates from the 11th century and is directly adjacent to the Porta Nigra. Also worthy of note is the building itself, which boasts one of the oldest and rarely preserved two-storey cloisters. The admission price includes an audio guide (D/E/F/NL), also available as an audio guided tour for children (D).

Lots of information. Very interesting. Learned a lot about Trier's rich history. Great place to start your Trier stay. Only point for improvement would new to streamline the topics in themes. Sometimes topics are offered in the same room in a haphazard way

City museum in the pedestrian zone of Trier.
Located next to the "Porta Nigra" this beautifuly renovated old building (ex-abbey) is the city museum of Trier. A lot of informations about the history of Trier. Special mention for the Roman artefacts. In August the Simeonstift also showed on 2 floors part of the exhibition "The fall of the Roman Empire". The attendants, employees..... were kind of apathic, silent,.... didn't show any customer care.
