Musée de la Romanité - Guide to the collections (English Edition)

Much more than a Gallo-Roman museum, the Musée de la Romanité archaeological museum offers insight into the Romanisation of the region and its impact over the centuries. Awarded the Musée de France label,  it is the largest museum in the Gard department and one of the most visited museums in Occitanie.

Step back in time and let yourself be guided through three major eras that shaped the soul of Nîmes. At the beginning, discover the pre-Roman city in full swing. Then, enter the splendour of Roman times: a flourishing colony adorned with majestic monuments - the amphitheatre, the Magne Tower and the famous Maison Carrée, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Finally, let yourself be carried away to the Middle Ages, a time of renewal and transformation, when the city reinvented itself without ever forgetting its glorious past.

Through these pages, embark on a fascinating journey through the centuries, discovering a living memory that continues to make the heart of Nîmes beat.
