Le Chronographe, Archaeological museum in Rezé, France.
Le Chronographe museum presents archaeological findings and artifacts through digital displays and interactive installations across multiple exhibition spaces within a modern building structure.
The museum stands above the ancient port district of Ratiatum, a Gallo-Roman settlement that flourished between the first and third centuries beneath present-day Rezé.
The permanent exhibition uses digital tools and hands-on activities to demonstrate archaeological methods and reveal the daily activities of Ratiatum inhabitants.
The museum operates Wednesday through Sunday from February to June and September to December between 14:00 and 18:00, with extended hours during July and August.
A rooftop terrace observation deck provides direct views of the archaeological excavation areas and the former port infrastructure of ancient Ratiatum.
