Collection of Roman sculptures & artefacts from various periods throughout history

featured in Sights & sites

Objects from local and regional sources, with the exception of a fund of Greek ceramics, Etruscan, Italiot, derived from bequests from private collections and a deposit of the State (Campana).

The first museum of Nîmes was created in 1823 in the Maison Carree. At the end of the nineteenth century, the city decided to install lapidary archaeological collections in part of the former Jesuit college located south of the old city, between the High Street and Boulevard Amiral Courbet

The inauguration took place in 1896. In 2018, the collections of the Archaeological Museum will be presented in the future Museum of Romanité, opposite the Bullring.
