Information

The information centre is the ideal place to find out everything about the Romans, for example, or to gather information for a project you have to do for school, or to watch documentaries about ancient cultures. If you have any questions, the museum’s staff is always willing to help.

Children’s corner and database

In the children’s corner, children can colour a picture or play archaeologist. If you want to know more about objects you have seen in the permanent presentations, you can consult the computers with a digital database providing detailed information on more than 300 showpieces from the museum’s collection.

Service

The staff can inform you of the possibilities of hiring the Temple Hall and about group and school visits to the museum. They can help you find photographs of the museum’s collection, or arrange for a visit to the scientific library.

• Non-specialist literature
• Novels
