Samara park, Archaeological open-air museum and theme park in La Chaussée-Tirancourt, France.

Samara Park is an open-air museum with reconstructed prehistoric dwellings spread across a large site, introducing visitors to human development through archaeological findings. Different areas display how people lived in various periods and developed their techniques.

The Samara project was initiated by the Somme departmental council, inspired by the Archéodrome de Beaune. In 1982 Bruno Lebel was put in charge of designing the site: the oppidum of La Chaussée-Tirancourt was laid out, a 1,200 m² exhibition dome of 25 cupolas was built, and the arboretum and plant labyrinth were created. Lebel became director of the Samara estate in 1994.

The site invites visitors to try ancient crafts like flint knapping, pottery making, and spear throwing, helping them grasp how people lived in prehistoric times. These hands-on activities reveal how people made their tools and interacted with their surroundings.

The site lies on both sides of the D191 road, with the arboretum, marsh and plant labyrinth on one side and the exhibition pavilion, craft demonstration area and dwelling reconstructions on the other. The oppidum above the park looks over the Somme valley. The park belongs to the Somme departmental council.

Mediators demonstrate how human techniques evolved over millennia, including prehistoric hunting methods and excavation simulations. Visitors can directly experience the steps that led to our modern abilities.
