Musée de la Romanité, Archaeological museum in Nîmes, France
The Musée de la Romanité contains 5,000 archaeological pieces across 9,200 square meters, featuring a glass facade that reflects light like a mosaic pattern.
The museum, which opened in June 2018, displays artifacts spanning 25 centuries of history, from pre-Roman settlements through medieval times in the region.
Exhibitions present the evolution of Nîmes through preserved mosaics, Gallic house reconstructions, and multimedia displays showing daily life in ancient times.
The museum operates from 10:00 to 19:00 between April and November, and from 10:00 to 18:00 from November to March, with closures on Tuesdays.
A reconstructed propylaeum fronton stands 15 meters above ground at the entrance, marking the location of an ancient sanctuary that originated the city.
