Archaeological museum housing a real treasure, with permanent collections from prehistory to the Merovingian period.

The Musée archéologique du Trésor d'Eauze houses a real treasure discovered in 1985 in the area of the old railway station. It includes more than 28,000 coins, most of them silver, and about fifty jewels and precious objects. Among the objects discovered are six gold necklaces with precious stones and mother-of-pearl beads, a gold money necklace, a gold phylactery, three gold plate bracelets, six rings and hoops, five pairs of earrings, six intaglios, a cameo, seven silver spoons, three silver ingots, two knives with iron blades and carved ivory handles, four horn pins and a bronze key. There are several indications that it was buried in the year 261 AD. Although it is not uncommon to find treasures dating from this period, the Eauze treasure is unique in that it is one of the few to have been fully preserved and studied in France. The richness, quality and remarkable state of conservation of the jewels and coins make it the largest treasure presented in its entirety in a museum setting in France. In addition to the presentation of this exceptional treasure, the museum, labeled "Museum of France" houses permanent collections ranging from prehistory to the Merovingian period. Its collection of prehistoric objects is unique in the South-West and is a reference in the field.

Un petit musée mais bien mis en valeur. Le trésor est absolument fabuleux. Les bijoux sont aussi bien mis en valeur.

Quel beau trésor !
Le RDC et le 1er étage sont intéressants mais mériterait d'être plus didactique ou accessible au grand public mais le trésor de ce musée est le sous-sol avec son trésor. Quelle merveille !
Les pièces de monnaies principales mériteraient peut-être d'être mises en vaeur séparément au moyen d'une sorte de loupe.
Le personnel est très pro, compétent et souriant.
