Musée Archéologique et d'Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Archaeology and Natural History)
Musée Archéologique et d'Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Archaeology and Natural History) Review
This old Jesuit college houses a wonderful collection of local archaeological finds, including sarcophagi, beautiful pieces of Roman glass, statues, busts, friezes, tools, coins, and pottery. Among the highlights is a rare pre-Roman statue called The Warrior of Grezan and the Marbacum Torso, which was dug up at the foot of the Tour Magne.
