In the heart of Sisteron, the Gallo-Roman Museum features exceptional exhibits and a permanent exhibition on the city’s ancient history and burial rites.
Segustero was a Roman city, located at the crossroads of important routes, including the Via Domitia. This museum retraces the city’s ancient history, featuring architectural decorations, everyday objects and remarkable statuary. The museum’s “Musée de France” collections include a collection from a mausoleum built by a wealthy family in the Early Empire, and a large number of items excavated from the Bevons mausoleum.
The contemporary, interactive and evolving display will ensure that your visit is as enjoyable as it is instructive. The museum is housed in the d’Ornano building, which also hosts temporary exhibitions.
You can continue your visit by discovering Sisteron (time trail, cathedral, citadel). The town is also the starting point for the Route du Temps, which crosses the Haute-Provence Geopark.
