Description
The Saint-Romain-en-Gal archaeological site is one of the biggest in France devoted to Gallo-Roman civilisation. The museum is at the heart of a 7-hectare cultural park that has brought new life to this residential district in Vienne.
Here you can see the thermal baths, workshops, homes and shops unearthed since 1967. The museum is divided into four areas: the history of Vienne in Antiquity, the economy and crafts, mosaics and daily life in the Roman home. The restoration workshop is in charge of preserving the mosaics. It is internationally recognised for the quality of its work.
All through the year, you can see the permanent collections during themed visits and children's workshops. Each year, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions and musical activities, storytelling and exceptional events, such as the Gallo-Roman Days and the Vinalia (Roman grape harvest).
