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 statues-menhirs méritent à elles seules la visite, mais il y a bien d'autres trésors qui renseignent sur l'histoire du Rouergue.
Very interesting museum on the history of the city, with artifacts of qualities and origins for a museum. fine collection of statues menhir.
Unusual museum which leads us to the old stones and transport us statues menhirs through time. Scenography designed very well. To see
