Themed tours
The museum's collections
A visit to the museum, either in general or on a theme related to the subjects studied in class.
For example:
- From birth to death: the cycle of life in ancient times.
- From garden to plate: a horticultural and culinary journey through antiquity.
- Vines and wine: discovering a beverage that was already appreciated by our ancestors.
- Economy and finance: the foundations of the complex economic system of the Roman era, where taxes, coinage and general administration seem strangely modern.
The “Amphitheatre” temporary exhibition can also be included at the end of the tour.
Visit to the "Amphitheatre?
Guided tour of the museum’s temporary exhibition, rediscovering one of Nyon’s most important ancient buildings: its amphitheater. This evolving exhibition aims to provide answers, explanations and food for thought about the building’s past, present and future, including its future development.
Visit the amphitheatre site
To complement the exhibition, you can discover the amphitheatre in situ. The monument is a 10-minute walk from the Roman Museum. Unfortunately, it is not accessible to people with reduced mobility. Duration 1h.
Nyon/Noviodunum, from discovery to discovery
Like a puzzle entrusted to archaeologists, the Roman face of Nyon is revealed: basilica, forum, covered market, thermal baths, amphitheater… As the capital of Colonia Iulia Equestris, Nyon reproduced the model of Rome in the provinces. A walk through the streets of Nyon followed by a visit to the museum.
