<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\nThe Museum of Aquitaine<\/h2>\n\n
With collections tracing more than 400,000 years of regional history<\/strong>, one could spend hours or even days visiting the Museum of Aquitaine. One is particularly struck by the richness of its collections: archaeology, history and regional and extra-European ethnography up to the present day, spread over several floors. To discover in particular the Gallic treasure of Tayac<\/strong> and thespaces dedicated to the 18th century<\/strong> which retrace Bordeaux, the Atlantic trade and slavery. Several “break” corners are set up to rest in the tranquility of the museum. <\/p>\n\n
The museum is already very well documented, but for those who would like even more information, there is an app offering guided audio tours for adults and children. The children’s visit is well adapted, with a fun and original journey to be done independently through the collections. You can download it directly to your phone or tablet, so you can prepare for your visit to the museum. <\/p>\n\n
