In the spring of 2025, the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes invites you to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Roman Gaul with the exhibition “Gauls, but Romans!”

Through an exceptional partnership with the National Archaeology Museum, the exhibition explores how Gallic and Roman cultures intertwined to shape a new, rich, and complex identity.
