Laténium, Archaeological museum in Hauterive, Switzerland
The Laténium extends across 2,500 square meters on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, presenting regional archaeological discoveries from prehistoric times through medieval periods.
The museum opened in 2001 after 22 years of planning and stands on three archaeological sites discovered during the construction of the A5 motorway.
The permanent exhibition showcases 3,000 artifacts from regional excavations, including the 20-meter Gallo-Roman vessel discovered in Bevaix and numerous lake dwelling findings.
Located 3 kilometers from Neuchâtel center, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 12 Swiss Francs.
The museum grounds include a reflective basin indicating the lake level from 15,000 years ago, alongside reconstructions of prehistoric structures and Celtic bridges.
