Aquitaine Museum, Regional museum in Bordeaux, France.
The Aquitaine Museum is a regional museum in Bordeaux displaying more than 70,000 objects from prehistoric times to the modern era across two exhibition floors. The collection ranges from everyday items to significant artworks and documents the region's development over millennia.
The building began as a 16th-century convent and later served as a school and university before its conversion. In 1963 it opened as a museum and has since preserved and shared the region's history with visitors.
The museum holds African and Oceanic art objects that reflect Bordeaux's role in maritime trade and global connections. These pieces show how the city remained linked to distant cultures through its harbor activity.
The museum is centrally located in Bordeaux and open Tuesday through Sunday, typically in the afternoon. Visitors should allow several hours to properly explore both exhibition floors and the extensive collection.
The museum dedicates significant space to exploring Bordeaux's role in Atlantic trade and the history of slavery with modern multimedia installations. These presentations use sound and visual storytelling to create a thoughtful and immersive experience.
