The permanent 300-piecc Bar-bier Mueller collection of 19th- and 20th-century gold is a trove of artefacts from West Africa's erstwhile gold empires. History buffs curious about the stories lying beneath the shiny surface can investigate the timeline detailing the journey of the precious metal from the limes of King Tut to present day. They also offer jewellery courses if you get inspired to adorn yourself. A charming courtyard restaurant adds to the appeal.
