Musée de la Romanité

Dive into Ancient Roman Nîmes, its monumental architecture, a recreation of the living quarters of a Roman villa, and artefacts like statues, mosaics, everyday and religious objects.

You'll also see displays of back when the Gauls would worship the god Nemausus at the foot of the sacred source, all the way through medieval times and the spread of the Christian faith.

Located opposite the Roman Arena of Nîmes, its contemporary style by architect Elizabeth de Portzamparc makes for a great visual contrast. Enjoy its book-gift shop, gourmet bistro-style restaurant overlooking the Arena, and Mediterranean-style garden.

The cherry on top? Breathtaking views of the most beautiful monuments of Nîmes from the 360° rooftop! The museum proudly bears the “Musée de France” label, and is one of the most popular in the Occitanie region of France.
