Musée Fenaille, Archaeological museum in Rodez, France.

The Fenaille Museum exhibits over 1100 artifacts across three floors, presenting collections from prehistory through the 17th century in chronological order.

Maurice Fenaille, an oil industry pioneer and patron of Rodin, donated the Hôtel de Jouéry building in the early 20th century to house the museum.

The museum holds Europe's largest collection of statue-menhirs, including 17 original pieces sculpted approximately 5000 years ago representing human figures.

Visitors can purchase a combined pass for €12 that provides access to three museums: Fenaille, Soulages, and Denys-Puech throughout their stay.

The Lady of Saint-Sernin statue-menhir represents one of the oldest life-size human representations in Western Europe, dating from the 3rd millennium BCE.
