Description
The museum's collections are alive and kicking. With new acquisitions, restorations and studies, they are constantly revealing unsuspected stories.
A new acquisition for the museum
It all began with a chance discovery. In 1964, a sand quarry in Les Martres-d'Artière (Puy-de-Dôme) revealed a small necropolis. The site was quickly destroyed, and all that remains today are objects deposited in the tombs.
Donated to the museum in 2026, they provide rare evidence of how the dead were treated in Auvergne in late Antiquity.
