About the museum

L'ensemble englobe un site archéologique, un musée et un parcours. La nécropole de Bougon est composée de cinq tumulus dont les datations, du Ve millénaire, sont les plus anciennes de la façade atlantique. Ces monuments mégalithiques sont répartis sur deux hectares. Le musée évoque les grandes étapes de la Préhistoire et présente les bâtisseurs de ces monuments impressionnants. Le parcours de découverte familial agrémente le chemin qui mène au site archéologique. Labyrinthe, reconstitutions d'habitats préhistoriques (dont une maison de plus de 40 mètres de long).

La construction du musée est l'aboutissement de 15 années de fouilles du site mégalithique, sous la direction de Claude Burnez et Jean-Pierre Mohen, jusqu'en 1987. Propriétaire du site depuis 1873, le Département décide, en 1991, la construction d'un musée pour valoriser ces découvertes archéologiques. Le musée est inauguré et ouvert au public en juin 1993. Les collections sont départementales, voire régionales. Le musée est également Centre de Conservation et d’Étude des Collections (CCEC).
