The Museum of the Americas in Auch is a must-see cultural site that surprises with the richness and diversity of its collections. Housed in the former Jacobin convent, the museum is one of the oldest in France, founded at the time of the Revolution. Its reputation extends far beyond the department, particularly thanks to its collection of pre-Columbian art.
Indeed, the Auch Museum has the second largest public collection of pre-Columbian art in France, just after that of the Quai Branly Museum in Paris. This collection is a true journey through the great civilizations of the Americas, from Mexico to Peru. The museum also presents other equally fascinating sections, covering varied themes: local archaeology with Gallo-Roman remains, fine arts with works by Gascon artists and collections dedicated to the arts and traditions of Gascony. This eclectic mix of cultures makes the museum a unique and exciting place for all audiences.
