Musée du Pays châtillonnais, Archaeological museum in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France.
The museum displays extensive collections spanning from prehistoric times to medieval periods across 2,000 square meters of exhibition space in a former abbey.
Established in 1882 by the Châtillon Archaeological and Historical Society, the museum gained recognition after the 1953 discovery of the Lady of Vix burial site.
The institution preserves significant Celtic artifacts, including the Vix krater and golden torque, which demonstrate early connections between Gallic and Greek civilizations.
Visitors can explore the collections from Wednesday to Monday between 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM, with multimedia guides enhancing the educational experience.
The museum houses the largest ancient Greek bronze vase ever discovered, measuring 1.64 meters in height and weighing 208 kilograms.
