What you'll see
Roman Cologne: glassware, jewellery, tombstones and a large floor mosaic of the wine god Dionysus, which can usually be glimpsed through the big window from the cathedral square (check).
A brief history
The mosaic was found in 1941 when an air-raid shelter was being dug, and the museum was built over it where it lay. Cologne began as a Roman town and its name comes from the Latin word for colony.
