Themed tours
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, amphitheatre… As capital of the Colonia Iulia Equestris, Nyon reproduced the model of Rome in the provinces. Stroll through the streets of Nyon, followed by a visit of the museum.
LIVING IN NYON IN ANTIQUITY
Themed and tailor-made visits.
Some examples of themes to discuss:
- 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.
The Roman Museum of Nyon, what a story!
How was the museum born? Where were his collections previously located? What are the choices that dictated its scenography? Why are its walls red? Did you know that they house a fallout shelter?
This guided tour explores the history of the museum by highlighting its creation, but also the decisions and convictions of those who participated in its creation.
