Musée Gallo-Romain de Saint-Romain-en-Gal, Archaeological museum in Saint-Romain-en-Gal, France.
The Musée Gallo-Romain de Saint-Romain-en-Gal sits on the right bank of the Rhône River and displays Roman architectural remains from an ancient residential district. The collection contains more than 3,900 objects that document different aspects of Roman life.
The site was a residential district of Vienna during the Roman period in Gaul and was inhabited between the 1st and 4th centuries. During this time, Vienna served as an important administrative and trade center along the Rhône.
The collection displays mosaics, wall paintings, statues, and pottery that show how Romans lived day to day. These objects reveal details about clothing, crafts, and what homes looked like from that era.
The museum provides audio guides and guided tours in several languages, allowing visitors to explore the ruins independently or with support. Outdoor picnic areas are available, and workshops are offered for those who want to engage more deeply with the site.
The museum operates a specialized restoration workshop where ancient mosaics from the site are cleaned, repaired, and preserved. Visitors can occasionally observe the restoration specialists working on this delicate craft.
