Museum Romanité

Went with the full pass in Nîmes and was pleasantly surprised of how well made the museum is. Lots of interesting artifacts and artwork. Most of the interpretive areas were available in 4 different languages. Well laid out.

One of the best museums dedicated to historic development of the region that I’ve ever seen. Stylish and modern design is working well with interesting and interjective elements of the exhibition making your visit exciting. I did also like the temporary exhibition that should be there until the end of the year 2023 - would recommend checking it as it is a fresh view of the ancient sculpturing

Absolutely astonishing! The museum is extremely well-designed, and the works are phenomenal. The explanations are clear, the videos are well produced, and it is easily the best museum for kids I have seen in a long time. Do not miss it! The #1 attraction in Nîmes, by a very wide margin

The museum includes a large collection of artifacts from the time of the Gauls and the Roman period, up until the medieval times. The price of the ticket is 9€ and 12€ if you wish to have an audio guide. However, there is information in English on all the displays and the museum staff were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. We were lucky as there was also a temporary display of contemporary arts where you could admire Roman statues with a modern twist! Do not forget to visit the gardens and the viewpoint! The restaurant with views of the amphitheater seemed really nice! Overall, we spent nearly 3 hours, so it is a must if you are a history buff!

A truly exceptional museum that combines style, artifacts, information and technology to great effect! There is also special attention paid to keeping the museum accessible for those with visual and auditory impairments, with things like physical touchable replicas of objects and relief paintings (with braille, of course) which act as duplicates for the real thing. See the attached photos for an example!

For the price, the value of the museum is beyond compare, especially if you have even a passing interest in Roman Empire history.

Big thanks to Bastien R. , an enthusiastic and helpful guide we met along the way, who gave us details on the functioning of an AR mirror and much more!

One of the nicest historical museums we have ventured to due the helpful staff, well presented artifacts, and excellent audio tour that provided a brief but very informative overview of around 40 features all without being boring or repetitive. In addition there is a roof top viewing area that provides some wonderful views of the area.

I spent more than five hours exploring the museum. It is very well organized and offers multimedia tools that make learning much easier. And it entertains you. I have been to several museums, and this is the best one I have been to so far, as it has adapted very well to the current times of teaching. I had the opportunity to visit the American Museum of Natural History in New York and it has a lot to learn from the Musée de la Romanité . As another thing that amazed me was the architecture that looks beautiful on the outside, but it is on the inside where you get the impact. At one moment it is as if you open a shutter and through the window you see the past. And there it is, in all its splendor, the Arena of Nimes. A marvel!

We went to discover the Roman time of France, and this was the right place to do it. Amazing museum and we only paid 19€ for family tickets ( 2 adults and two teenagers ). We take 2 hours and the time ran. Next time we will take more time to enjoy all exhibits.

Lucky me, I come today on the first Sunday of the month, so it's free entry for everyone. The museum is quite nice with good collections from the Roman world around Mediterranean, not only from local Nimes. It's completed with plenty of interactive presentations and videos as well as English translation for the collection's descriptions. Not to mention, the staffs also have very good English.
We can find a souvenir shop here with plenty good stuffs and panoramic roof which is perfect for a sunny day with a restaurant. Backpacks and coats can be left in the storage/cloakroom service near the entrance.

Great place to learn about Roman in Nimes. Buy the Pass Roman for 3 monuments and the museum

Superb museum dedicated to the Romans. Multimedia presentations and collections of related items shown in recreated context keep it interesting. Staff very helpful and friendly. Watch out for the bust of Julia Domna, the Syrian wife of an African emperor who visited Scotland and England.

Well worth a visit, this museum is laid out to allow the visitor to experience audio-visual history at their own pace. A little confusing with spiral stairs but good facilities.

This is really a well designed museum. I liked the clever projections onto some stone carvings and the well planned route through the exhibits. I don't know much about roman history so can't comment on the content really. There's a free cloakroom to leave your bag, a nice garden at the back, and even better, this place is free the first Sunday of each month!

Excellent. What a modern museum should be. Well thought out presentation, educational, interesting, additional audiovisual touches. The collection is also quite impressive, especially for a small city. Most of the works are from ancient Roman times. Architecture of the building an added bonus, with unique gardens on top and out back.

Very informational and interesting museum! All the staff were very polite and watchful and were ready to assist you along the pathway if you seemed confused. The Roman history and historical relics were amazing to see in person, and have been very well preserved. Overall a very educational and calming experience! I would happily come back again!

This is such a fantastic museum to discover the wealth of Roman heritage in Southern France. Recent streamlined air conditioned building that highlights the ancient artifacts. Stunning mosaics, panoramic garden-terrace. Good videos, explanation panels and item cards in English and Spanish too. Lovely souvenirs in boutique. A must-see not just for Antiquity lovers!

Such a great museum with so many artifacts and great information. I stayed here for about an hour or two and I learned so much about not only the ancient Roman Empire, but the Gaelics and Celtics who came before the romans. They even had found remains of an ancient Roman house which I found really interesting. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re in Nîmes!

Big and interesting. Main information in French, English and Spanish. Free on the first sunday of the month!!

This museum is a pice of art itself, Extremely well done, objects well exposed very interesting and modern. Must see.

Now. This is what the HK Palace Museum should look like. And Nîmes is a city of 150000 in France. HK as an Asian cultural centre? You're kidding me!
