Owner's Message
Prehistory in three spaces: a museum, a discovery trail and a remarkable archaeological site: the tumuli of Bougon.
contemporary architecture nestled in the heart of a natural setting, the museum is particularly interested in the Neolithic, a fundamental period in the history of humanity during which our ancestors built the 6 tumuli of the Bougon necropolis.
Built more than 5,000 years ago, these six megalithic monuments contain eight burial chambers.
