Le trésor de Vix- Retour des fouilles 2019
Join us for the European Heritage Days at the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais - Trésor de Vix, where you can immerse yourself in history! Discover the fascinating artifacts uncovered during the 2019 excavation of the famous Vix tomb. With the guidance of our enthusiastic mediators, explore the Vix room and be captivated by the latest archaeological finds that provide new insights into this iconic site. The museum also offers a behind-the-scenes look at preventive conservation, featuring demonstrations of static anoxia—a cutting-edge technique that eliminates harmful insects by depriving objects of oxygen, ensuring their optimal preservation. With the acquisition of new equipment in 2024 and the training of our team, we are now able to perform these treatments directly at the museum, significantly reducing conservation costs. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about archaeology, heritage preservation, and the hidden treasures of Vix! Don’t miss out on this exceptional event!
Admission to the museum will be free on Saturday, September 20, and Sunday, September 21.
