The House of Consuls
Located in the house known as 'the House of Consuls', in the heart of the medieval village of Matelles, the museum of arts and archaeology offers a vibrant dialogue between archaeology and contemporary art.
The vaulted rooms present the most beautiful pieces of the archaeological collection: pottery, bones, flint, jewelry, and tools from the daily life of people in the Late Neolithic. On the first floor, temporary exhibitions explore the know-how and the ability of the artist to transform their environment.
As a 'living' archaeological museum, the House of Consuls opens to its territory and is part of a network of archaeological sites, notably the Cambous site. Open to its time, it also invites visitors to discover the works of today, potential heritage for tomorrow.
