The Museum of Prehistory, located in the Erve Valley in Mayenne, has been open since 2017.
This modern museum dedicated to the discovery of Prehistory in Mayenne is located near the caves of Margot et Rochefort, where archaeological excavations were carried out.
These have revealed various objects, bones, artistic units, etc. from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic, which are now exhibited in the collections. Discover a museum in perpetual innovation, on a self-guided or guided tour (depending on the programming). Follow in the footsteps of the first prehistoric humans in western France by stepping through the doors of the museum.
