Musée Bargoin - Puy-de-Dome France

As an international student of Ancient History, I was particularly excited to visit this museum and access its collections. It is, by all reports, an excellent experience. However, on arriving, there was simply a sign on its closed doors stating that it is CLOSED until 18th April 2023. Whilst museum closures for renovation works are completely understandable, there was no mention of this online via any of the official websites (including the regional tourism website). Very disappointed with the lack of communication, and this combined with the lack of public transport to the Puy de Dome temple site in the region meant that there was no accessible ancient history sites within the region. As a result, I cut my stay short (4 hours total) to return to Lyon for a few days, where ancient cultural sites are abundant and excellent.

'Love ' exhibition outstanding, service at front desk warm and helpful, beautiful space thoughtfully curated. And free! Wonderful, thank you.

It was a great visit on the weekend! A must for a family and all age groups

I and my friends (who are international students) had a blast! Such a nice place to visit with lots of amazing artworks and the perfect ambience. The receptionist was very lovely and he spoke English to us when we were struggling with French! Plus it’s free for students!

Loved it. Small museum, friendly and welcoming staff. Perfect for kids.
