Archéa, the Musée d'Archéologie en Pays de France, welcomes families and archaeology enthusiasts to Nuit des Musées on Saturday, May 18, 2024. All evening long, visitors can discover thehistory of the Pays de France region, from prehistory to the 19th century, through the presentation of the results of excavations carried out during the construction of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport.
The museum, located in Louvres in the Val-d'Oise region, opened in 2010, and was conceived as a heritage conservation facility, like the Musée archéologique du Val-d'Oise. In addition to a permanent exhibition, the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, a documentation center, mediation activities and publications based on the results of archaeological research carried out in the region by local associations over the past 40 years.
In all, over 50,000 archaeological objects are kept in the reserves, some of which are on display to visitors. The museum is built around the ARCHEA scientific project, which focuses on archaeology and the region, and also highlights several of the establishment's other attractions, such as the Château d'Orville archaeological site and the ceramic and millstone heritage of the Ysieux valley. All of which is sure to arouse the interest of archaeology enthusiasts, and provide a new perspective on the discipline during the Nuit des Musées (Night of the Museums).
Le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles.
Happy Nuit des Musées at Musée Archéa!
