Musee de Lodeve (Musee Fleury)

In more than 1,000m² of floorspace, the Museum of Lodeve offers you three trails - three dizzying, playful and moving journeys, for both children and adults. The "Traces of Life" circuit recounts the story of the Earth since the explosion of life 540 million years ago. The "Man's Footprints" circuit tells you about Prehistory with humour and poetry. The "Sculpting Lives" circuit invites you into the eccentric world of the sculptor Paul Dardé.

Once again this little musee punching above it,s weight. The late impressionists exhibition is magnificent, a wonderful selection of paintings and artists from the period plus a brilliant film on the artist ( Le Sidaner), one of the leaders of the movement

Amphoralis

Le musée surplombe les fouilles archéologiques d'un atelier de potiers gallo-romains, actif depuis les années 20/30 avant J-C jusqu'au IIIe siècle, et mis au jour à partir de 1976. Le visiteur découvre l'activité et la vie quotidienne de ces potiers qui produisaient en masse des amphores pour le transport du vin mais aussi différents matériaux de construction (briques, tuiles) et de la vaisselle du quotidien. Après la visite du musée, un parcours extérieur mène aux reconstitutions de fours et d'un habitat, bâtiments construits à l'identique et de manière artisanale par l’équipe du musée. Centre d'expérimentation archéologique autant que lieu de découverte et d'animations pour le public, Amphoralis vous accueille pour un parcours original, au cœur de ce quartier artisanal et d'habitations. Amphoralis vous propose : - des animations toute l’année (visites, ateliers en famille, stages poterie…), - de nombreux outils multimédias : application de visite téléchargeable gratuitement sur vot

Musee Pyreneen de Lourdes

This museum is always worth going to. It follows the history of the area and is very informative. The displays are all in French but there are laminated sheets in various languages, including English, Dutch and German.
