Les pièces présentées sont exceptionnelles mais la chapelle est triste et sans âme ,il s'en dégage la spiritualité d'un hall de gare pas du tout à la hauteur de son histoire.
At the moment you can't visit gallo-roman, first middle age, comparative archeology and Paleolithic collections :(
I looked at the opening hours on the website and was very excited to see the Paleolithic collection and especially the Venus of Brassempouy. While casually reading Wikipedia about this Venus I read that the Venus can't be visited during a regular visit, you can do it with a guide only. I didn't see that information on the website, so I went to see what else did I miss. So glad I did! While searching through the website on how to book a visit to see the Venus I suddenly found out that half of the collections is closed! Such an information should be displayed on the main page! Especially because it's long renovations that are about to take a couple of years, as I've learned from other sources.
This museum has no respect for the people who are planning a visit. So glad I've miracoulously found out that it's half closed. I would have been so mad driving several hours just to see that the sections I was eager to see are not available.
Sinon la visite est rapide, en une matinée c'est faisable + un tour dans le jardin (avec la très belle vue au bout)
Musée intéressant mais la muséographie semble d'une autre époque: accumulation d'objets et peu d'animation.
Accueil médiocre (les gardiens qui discutent à voix haute de leurs vies perso devant les visiteurs).
Les lieux, le château lui même, ne sont vraiment pas mis en valeur, c'est dommage (par exemple la chapelle est ouverte, architecture magnifique mais aucun mobilier, pas d'explication, quelques pierres gravées semblent abandonnées la).
Ça ferme à 17h, c'est quand même très tôt.
