Musée d'art et d'archéologie du Périgord

The museum spans 2,000 square meters across multiple floors, displaying over 45,000 artifacts organized in four main thematic sections covering different historical periods.

Established in the 19th century, this institution houses France's fourth-largest national collection of prehistoric artifacts, including significant Paleolithic discoveries from the Dordogne region.

The exhibition spaces present medieval artifacts from local excavations, European paintings from the 16th to 20th centuries, and over 2,000 pieces from New Caledonia and Asia.

Visitors can access the museum Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 13:00 to 18:00, with admission priced at 6 euros for adults.

The institution maintains the seventh-largest collection of non-European ethnic artifacts in France, gathered by missionaries and travelers during the 1860s.
