Museum of Orange

Art & history museum showcasing Orange's history throughout the ages

featured in Sights & Sites

Located across the street from the Theatre Antique, you'll find this small museum housing many of the Roman artefacts found at some of Orange's best archaeological sites.

The centaur frieze was originally located in the Theatre antique and was used as a stage display. You can also see a large mosaic called the "Petit Amphores" which is believed to date from teh 2nd or 3rd century BC.

The museum shows the history of Orange from prehistoric times right up to more recent times, so whatever period of history interests you, there will be something here to fascinate you.

Entry price is included with an entry to the Theatre Antique.
