The exhibits and presentation in this museum are extraordinary. It begins with past and present birds of the region, continues with pre-Roman artefacts, and finishes with Roman and middle ages...

Well worth a visit - the treasure of Vix is awesome with a full supporting cast of other pre-Roman and Romano-Celtic artifacts.

Very helpful and kind staff. I went to the museum specifically for the lady of vix burial goods. A little disappointed by the exhibit, it’s clear that the exhibit is still a work in progress. There was very little informative texts, especially at the start of the exhibit. The museum also displays the remains of the lady. The issue of displaying human remains is contentious at best, but even if it wasn’t I dont feel that the museum did it appropriately. The fact that the museum shows a reconstruction of her burial chamber just in front of the case containing her remains really emphasise the disrespect it is to have her lying on the floor, in the dirt.
