- Unique in France. The remains of a rich Gallo-Roman residence in the architecture of Jean Nouvel. Exceptionally highlighted antique collections. A large umbrella hovers above the walls of the "Domus de Vésone" which he protects. A thematic route explains "the city and public life" then "the house and private life". From the museum's mezzanines, a spectacular view opens onto the remains. Beyond, the tall glass walls reveal the landscaped park of the Tour de Vésone and the remains of the rampart from the 4th century. The building is like a window open to the past buried under the modern city.

"Excellent Gallo Roman museum and collection of artifacts"

Reviews posted by jmktravelsalot (Arlington, Virginia) on 26/11/2022

We spent a rainy afternoon at Vesunna after visiting the market and post-lunch. Basically you can do the museum as a morning or afternoon activity, but it won’t take up your whole day, leaving room...

This Gallo-Roman museum is unique in that the glass walled building protects the site which consists of ruins of a once beautiful home, the Vesone domus, erected in the 1st century. The museum has 3...

We happened on this site after looking through a local travel brochure. We visited on our one free day in this charming small city and are very glad we did. The site is a 1st century AD city home...
