Musée de la Romanité in Nimes a Must-Visit
@Nimes Tourisme Explore · Guest Post · Road Trips South of FranceThe British press has been fulsome in its praise of the Musée de la Romanité in Nimes which opened in June – I couldn’t wait to visit.
Brand-new museums worldwide are using the latest building techniques and materials to construct breath-taking spaces with beautifully lit exhibits. And this is no exception. Plus, it is in a very special site—right opposite the 20,000-seat Roman Arena, which was built 2,000 years ago. This new museum is a modern architectural creation by Elizabeth de Portzamparc.
Visitor Information
A contemporary architectural exterior wraps around a collection of over 5,000 artifacts (from a group of 25,000 objects). The displays stretch the timeline from the Iron Age to Medival times. There are plenty of interactive displays to keep everyone entertained and educated at the same time. Expect your visit to last at least 90 minutes.
