Things to do in Montpellier, Occitanie: The Best Specialty Museums
Getting sick on vacation is a major drag, but if you have to be under the weather, Montpellier is an ideal place to do it. People have studied medicine here for centuries—the Moors established medical schools in the 9th century, and the Université Montpellier’s school of medicine was founded in 1220. Once the local docs give you a clean bill of health, explore the cathedral, mansions and opera house.

It is easy to find pavillon as the building is very characteristic and located near a highly attended Place de la comedie. We have seen two exhibitions, one presenting photos from ghettos and the other one presenting propaganda photos of Hitler, taken by his faithful, personal photographer. Both were interesting and moving, for me particularly as I am from Poland, where the majority of the photographed ghettos were located. Short but informative descriptions help to understand the photos but do not dominate them. A great supplement to the history lessons. A bit too heavy topic for summertime and holidays, so the exhibition was not crowded. But well organized and worth seeing for sure.

The Henri Prades Archeological Museum is situated close to ancient Lattara, an important port on the western Mediterranean.The Museum bears witness to the local daily-life of antiquity. The port of Lattara was active during more than 700 years, throughout which it was a place of economical and cultural exchange for the people who lived in the western basin of the Mediterranean.

This is by and far the best use to put a church to. Every exhibition I have seen here is greatly enhanced by they space itself. the light through the stained glass is awesome, breathtaking even, and it adds a special dimension to the artwork I have seen here.
