Bordeaux museum 2

.

The second museum in Bordeaux we went to was the musee d aquitaine, another 2 hours spent in the presence of some amazing pieces from the whole of our region, including many prehistoric items from our village of Le Moustier, but the part of the museum that really took my eye was the massive collection of roman relics found in Bordeaux over the years.

Most of the items can be viewed 'up close' without any barriers between you and the history on display, just like the item above, a headstone from the grave of a young child dated at the year of 7AD, which shows the child with his favourite possession of a hen and also holding what appears to be a pet cat. Amazing detail, just as the mosaic floor on display below, great stuff and we look forward to our next break over there!
