Welcome to Nyon's Roman Museum

The doors of the Roman Museum open into the ancient town of Nyon/Noviodunum, the urban centre of the Colonia Iulia Equestris. You will discover the typical day-to-day existence of a Roman colony, ranging from care of one’s appearance to political life. The Museum also proposes activities for children and guided tours.

Opening of the Museum

The Museum opens on Thuesday 2 March 2021, and free of charge on the four weekends of March (Saturday and Sunday)

All activities are suspended until further notice.

In order to pretect you and the staff, the reopening is accompanied by a protection plan based on the requirements of the Federal Office of Public Health (OFSP), as well as the recommendations of the Association of Swiss Museums (AMS).

Nyon International Festival of Archaeological Films

The 12th edition of the Festival will take place from 24th to 27th March 2021.

True to its tradition of being held every two years, the Festival will take place in a slightly different form this year: It will be online.

We are delighted to present this edition in this unprecedented way and hope to see you (virtually) there!
