Museum and Park Composition

The Arkéos Archaeological Museum and Park is a unique combination of an archaeological museum and a park featuring reconstructions of medieval habitats. This setup allows visitors to not only learn about the history and archaeology of the region but also to experience it in a tangible way through the reconstructed habitats.

Archaeological Park

The archaeological park of Arkéos is a unique open-air space dedicated to the Middle Ages, particularly the early Middle Ages (VI-XI centuries). Here, visitors can explore reconstructed ancient buildings, which have been based on traces and remains discovered during archaeological excavations. This immersive experience provides a tangible connection to the past.
