In 1783, this museum was opened to exhibit gemstones. It wasn't until 1862 that it became a museum of local history, archaeology and ethnography, and took on the name that we recognise today. The building is split over four levels, of which 5,000m2 are devoted to permanent collections, 1,000m2 belong to temporary exhibitions and 4,500m2 to reserve stock. Collections chart life in the region from prehistoric times to the modern day, taking a detour through the Gallo-Roman era and the Middle Ages. Acquisitions from overseas, including Africa and the South Sea Islands, make up a significant part of the objects on display. The museum also houses a reference library, a children's library and a specialist library. Admission to permanent collections is EUR4; free on the first Sunday of the month.
