Draft:Narbonne Archaeological Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Narbonne Archaeological Museum (French - Musée archéologique de Narbonne) is an archaeological museum in Narbonne. It covers local archaeology from the prehistoric, protohistoric, Gallo-Roman, early Christian and medieval eras, including an important collection of Gallo-Roman frescoes from excavations on the Clos de la Lombarde villa site in the city. It and the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire are the city's two main museums, both housed in the Archbishops' Palace. Many of its Roman collections were moved to the new Narbo Via in 2021.
