ArchéoMusée Coriosolis et ses ArchéoSites
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Brittany, Coriosolis isn't just a museum; it's a gateway to the ancient Gallo-Roman city of Fanum Martis. You start inside the modern, light-filled ArchéoMusée, where intricate mosaics and everyday objects like pottery and coins tell intimate stories of Roman life. Then, the adventure truly begins as you step outside to wander the actual archaeological sites, tracing the outlines of temples and villas hidden in the landscape. It’s a place that masterfully blends scholarly research with a tangible sense of discovery, making the past feel immediately present.
Collection Highlights
The star exhibits are the breathtakingly preserved mosaic floors, vibrant with geometric patterns and mythological figures. Don't miss the scale model of the ancient town, which brilliantly contextualizes your entire visit. Outside, the partially reconstructed Temple of Mars stands as a powerful centerpiece among the sprawling ruins.
