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 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.

Visitor comments

  • "My ticket for the Theatre gave us access to the Museum, opposite. Some amazing Roman bits and pieces. Lovely place to sit and contemplate" - Trip Advisor
  • "Although this museum is small it is well worth a visit. With very efficient audio guides it is big enough to keep you interested. It is part of a visit to the Theatre opposite and included in the price." - Trip Advisor
  • "This museum is quite small and is conveniently located just across the street from the famous Ancient Theatre of Orange. There is nothing really special about this museum, bit it is worth a quick check up since it comes free with the admission ticket to the Theatre." - Trip Advisor
