The Piette Room is unlike any other museum room in the world. This exhibition hall is first of all remarkable for what it contains: a fabulous collection of tools, weapons and prehistoric art objects discovered in the 19th century by Édouard Piette during excavations in the Pyrenees. Many masterpieces are on display, including the famous «Dame à la Capuche» discovered in Brassempouy, in the Landes. The scenography is unchanged since the 19th century. The visitor embarks in a real time machine for a unique visit!

  • Yvelines
  • Île-de-France
The Museum of National Archaeology presents archaeological collections, among the richest in the world, tracing the lives of men and their "inventions" from the origins to the Merovingian era. Some 3 million objects, including 29,000 exhibits, testify to the evolution of manufacturing techniques, artistic expression and religious thought of the men who crossed and succeeded each other on the national territory. Since December 29, 2009, the Musée d'Archéologie nationale and the Domaine national de Saint-Germain-en-Laye have merged into a single institution, a service with national jurisdiction-SCN.
