Musée d'archéologie de Roussillon
The proposed experience
Located in the declared heritage site of Vieux-La Prairie, the Roussillon Archeology Museum (MAR) has for mission the conservation, study and enhancement of the archaeological collections of the Roussillon region, as well as the dissemination of knowledge that comes from it to the public. It has an archaeological reserve conserving more than 300,000 artefacts and ecofacts, all from the region. Through the work of university researchers and research carried out by the Museum, they allow documenting more than 5,000 years of history. The resulting knowledge is presented to the public through educational programs and exhibitions. In addition to showcasing the rich regional heritage of the 11 municipalities of the MRC de Roussillon, these exhibitions aim to raise citizens’ awareness of the scientific aspect of archeology.
