Absolutely brilliant!! Just a stunning museum; we could have spent hours here. Really impressed and it's well worth the low cost.

Went to this museum to kill time before my car rental. It did not disappoint. Plenty of interesting artifacts and exhibits taking the region of Aquitaine throughout all historical periods. They have a great exhibit on slavery and the complex history that the region has on it as well as an incredible exhibit on the French Revolution.

Really fantastic museum that covers a wide range of history and topics. The prehistoric section was a highlight as this region is well-known for cave paintings and all the research into early peoples here. They also don't shy away from difficult subjects, especially Bordeaux's significant role in the slave trade. My only critique would be that a lot of racist imagery was displayed in the later parts of the exhibits with no real context or reason why racist advertisements or depictions were prominently displayed. It was quite jarring. Most things were either in English or accessible through a translation app. Much of the museum is also translated into Spanish as well. Well worth the time and money spent.

This is a great little museum. It spans the entirety of human, and prehuman, habitation of this area. It is set out very well and easily walkable. There are some really nice 3D applications you can look at on your phone and good signage. If you don't speak any French you may miss some things because a lot of the signage is in French only. However, use Google translate and you should be fine. Definitely worth a visit!
