Insights into life and everyday life, economy and trade, politics and belief, art and technology of the Trier population are given.

Exhibitions

Permanent exhibition

The basis of the collection of the Simeonstift Trier City Museum comes from donations from well-known Trier citizens. The collection contains paintings , sculptures , handicrafts , but also Coptic textiles , furniture and small East Asian sculptures. The objects in the permanent exhibition are complemented by models, interactive areas and media presentations in the form of films, image sequences and audio stations; they convey a picture of the history of art, culture and the city of Trier.

The permanent exhibition is divided into themed rooms. The “Trebetasaal” on the ground floor is named after the legendary founder of the city, the Assyrian king's son Trebeta . A large-format oil painting illustrates the legend here. Further city history exhibits are the original market cross from the 10th century, the stone figures from the 15th century and the figures of the Petrusbrunnen from the 16th century.

The “Red Hall” is dedicated to the history of Trier from antiquity to the present day. A large city model shows the state of Triers around 1800. A series of pictures by the Trier artist Johann Anton Ramboux shows the great importance that Trier's ancient buildings enjoyed in the 19th century.

In the “Yellow Hall” there are objects and media stations on selected topics from the city's history. The economy, tourism and transport, religious communities, sport and cultural life in Trier are illuminated.

The “Stifterkabinett” on the second floor is the place for paintings, fashion, East Asian items and other gifts that have been given to the city of Trier. Patrons were citizens of Trier interested in art, who laid the foundation for the city museum by donating their collections.

In the “Trier Cinema” there are around 80 films available to visitors that can be started and viewed individually. The spectrum ranges from the first known film document about Trier from 1904, a 1.5-minute, shaky car ride through the Porta Nigra, to provocative art campaigns from the 1960s, to contemporary documentaries on urban development.

In a baroque frame in the central stairwell, a gallery of around 100 portraits comprising paintings, graphics and photos is presented on a screen. You can discover Trier citizens who have left their mark on the city.
