Overview

Situated on one of the city's most prominent hills, far from the hustle and bustle of the town centre, Nice's archaeological museum is renowned for its remarkably well-preserved Roman baths dating back to the 2nd & 3rd centuries C.E. Objects on display, such as vases and jewellery, have either been found during excavations or brought in from other archaeological sites. A small store offers a range of books on the Cemenelum (Cimiez) site and Nice in general, as well as reproductions of some museum pieces.
