Museum housing the most important and oldest collection of statue-menhirs in France, to be discovered in Rodez.

The museum's collection comprises some 25,000 pieces, donated since 1836 by numerous generous donors. A good 1,000 of these are now on display in the three-storey mansion. Among the collection's masterpieces are the Dame de Saint-Sernin and her acolytes: statue-menhirs, most of them discovered in Aveyron and sculpted in the3rd millennium BC to represent "life-size" man. Other treasures include a 2nd-century bust of Marcus Aurelius and a Gallo-Roman horse head.

Les gaulois étaient donc présent dans cette région ! Fan d'antiquité et de l'époque gallo romaine, ce musée m'a tout simplement régalé les yeux.

Très belle exposition, bien organisée, dans ce superbe monument qu'est la maison Fenaille. C'est tellement émouvant de voir ces vestiges de 3000 ans avant notre ère créés par l'homme.
