The rebirth of the museum and the Oppidum of Ensérune
At the beginning of the 20th century, Félix Mouret uncovered one of the most important protohistoric necropolises in the South of France. The excavation of nearly 500 cremation tombs allowed the creation of one of the richest collections of Celtic weaponry in Europe but also of Celtic ceramics imported from Greek, Iberian, Etruscan, Roman and the Orient, archaeological pieces which bear witness to the rich history of this Celtic city, at the crossroads of civilizations in the heart of the Mediterranean, which earned it recognition as a national museum in 1935! Recently renovated by the French national monuments centre, the museum of Ensérune now houses a newly-designed exhibition with a contemporary aesthetic. This lecture is by Lionel IZAC, director of the Oppidum and Archaeological Museum of Ensérune, Centre des Monuments Nationaux, and Sophie IZAC, Curator at the Oppidum and Archaeological Museum of Ensérune, Centre des Monuments Nationaux. On Wednesday, October 11 at 18:00 at the Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique. Discover more here.
