Ancient antiquities and other artifacts are gloriously displayed at the Musee Lapidaire, set in a beautiful Baroque-style 17th-century chapel since 1933. Created to showcase the ancient and medieval sculptures of the Calvet Foundation originally preserved in the Hotel de Villeneuve-Martignan, the museum has since significantly grown its collection which features several civilizations including Greek, Roman, Etruscan, Paleo-Christian Gallic, and Egyptian. Visitors get to view everything from monumental works to sarcophagi, vases and more including temporary exhibits and an outdoor courtyard, which also serves as a site for a festival in the summer months.
