Themed tours
WHO IS JULIUS CAESAR?
Age: 6-8 years old. Duration: 1 hr
A fun visit designed for young people like a story that is told. It is based on models, images and mime. It ends with a session of Roman games.
LIVING IN NYON IN ANTIQUITY
Age: 8-12 years old. Duration: 2 hrs.
Educational activity (2 x 1 hr in half-groups)
Discover the habits of our ancestors at Colonia Iulia Equestris. One half of the group will visit the museum with their teacher, armed with a discovery booklet on the permanent exhibition and on a theme of their choice (“Roman ceramics”, “What did the Romans eat?” and “Stone carving”), while the other half will handle and touch real Roman objects presented by a guide.
NYON/NOVIODUNUM, FROM DISCOVERIES TO DISCOVERIES
Age: 8-18 years old. Duration: 1.5 hrs
A walk through the streets of Nyon in the footsteps of the ancient remains, followed by a visit of the museum. Little by little, the Roman face of Nyon is revealed: basilica, forum, covered market, thermal baths, amphitheatre… As the capital of Colonia Iulia Equestris, the remains of Noviodunum reveal that the colony was modelled on the city of Rome.
THE MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
Age: 6-18 years old. Duration: 1 hr or 1.5 hrs
A visit to the museum, either in general or on a theme related to the subjects covered in class.
For example:
- From birth to death: the cycle of life in Antiquity.
- From garden to plate: a horticultural and culinary journey through Antiquity.
- The vine and the wine: discovering one of the great pleasures of the Romans through the objects in the exhibition.
- Economy and finance: the foundations of the complex system of the economy in Roman times where taxes, currencies and general administration seem strangely modern.
