Muséoparc d'Alésia, History museum in Venarey-les-Laumes, France
The museum features exhibits across three locations: a central museum building, Gallo-Roman archaeological remains, and a commemorative statue of Vercingetorix.
The site documents the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, where Julius Caesar's Roman forces defeated the Gallic tribes led by Vercingetorix.
The circular museum building, designed by architect Bernard Tschumi, contains over 600 artifacts alongside interactive displays depicting ancient Gallic and Roman civilizations.
The museum operates from February to November with seasonal hours, offering guided tours in multiple languages and access to both exhibition spaces for two consecutive days.
The rooftop observation deck provides a complete view of the battleground where 60,000 Romans encircled 80,000 Gallic warriors with double fortification lines.
