Unique in France. The remains of a richly endowed Gallo-Roman residence are housed in a modern building designed by the architect Jean Nouvel. The collections from Antiquity are exhibited to their best advantage. A vast umbrella-like structure floats over the walls of the “Domus de Vesunna” protecting it. A themed trail explains “the town and public life” and “domestic and private life”.
A spectacular view opens onto the remains from the mezzanine level. Beyond the glass curtain walling, the rustic park and gardens surrounding the Vesunna Tower and remains of the town ramparts are revealed.
