Skip the Line: Museum of Romanity Ticket

This is an utterly stupendous museum! It is fairly new-I believe built just before the pandemic. It overlooks the magnificent amphitheater and has a convenient casual cafe. Inside the museum is about 3 levels and has some of the most amazing mosaics anywhere in the world. The museum has a nice chronological flow and non Francophones can easily understand the exhibits. There are a few good short films and some very innovative interpretive displays of frescoes, etc. I've been to a huge number of museums around the world and in France including the Louvre, Cluny (Musee du Moyen Age), L'Orangerie, d'Orsay, Musee Granet, Palais du Papes, Musee Alsaciennes, Palais Rohan etc. This is a TOP EXPERIENCE for anyone interested in the Greco-Roman Era and/or Medieval Age.

We always make a point of visiting the Civic and/or archaeological Museum which should provide the history of the city with lots of artifacts. We've been to some really great ones, particularly in Bordeaux, Rennes, and Nantes. But we're giving the prize to Nimes, perhaps because they had lots of info in English, and a super restaurant atop the museum. And really attentive and proud folks at the desk. Allow 3 hours if you want to "do it right". You can come and go to the restaurant.

Fascinating collection of Roman life and accomplishments. Really enjoyed this visit. This is a well run operation and very easy to navigate for English speaking visitors. Presentations are quite realistic and there are some site recreations that you can walk through and really get a feel for what was going on. Staff is very helpful and enjoy showing you what they have. Highly recommend.

The museum was fantastic! We spent about 3 hours there, but could easily have spent another 2 or 3 hours. We did order the “Skip the Lines” ticket ahead of time, but for some reason, our codes wouldn’t scan. However, the staff was very helpful and manually let us through.

Definitely pay for the audio/video headsets. Then you can roam the museum at your leisure. It’s a very well thought out museum. There’s lots of interactive exhibits.

It’s great because you can spend a little bit of time or you can really delve into a topic. The videos are in French, English, and Spanish.

This is a definite Must Do when in Montpelier.

The ticket was not read by the electronic reader so we had to stand in line anyway to get a ticket. It was a bit ridiculous. No "skipping the line" for us!
