Musée Bargoin, Archaeological museum in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
Musée Bargoin is an archaeological museum in Clermont-Ferrand with two main sections: the archaeological department displays regional finds, while the textile collection presents international works from the 18th to 21st centuries. The exhibitions span multiple floors and allow visitors to explore different time periods and craftsmanship techniques.
The museum opened in 1903 in a neoclassical building and received the 'Musée de France' designation in 2003. These two moments mark its founding and official recognition as a significant cultural institution.
The collection displays objects from prehistoric, protohistoric, and Gallo-Roman times, telling the story of the region's development through everyday items and materials from different periods.
The museum is located in downtown Clermont-Ferrand and is easily accessible by public transport or on foot. Visitors should be aware that some stairs connect the exhibition floors.
The museum houses exceptional stone plaques from the Sources des Roches sanctuary, among the most significant archaeological finds in European collections. These pieces offer rare glimpses into the rituals and beliefs of ancient cultures in the region.
