Our temporary exhibition
Gallic Flavours: Cooking, Drinking, and Eating among the Arverni (2nd–1st Century BC)
What dishes were served at Vercingetorix’s table? Far from the stereotypical image of a boar-on-a-spit feast associated with Gallic meals, the exhibition ‘Gallic Flavours’ challenges our perceptions on the subject. This visit invites you to follow the approach of experimental archaeology to explore one of the essential aspects of Gallic daily life: cooking and food. Discover this gastronomic universe through the 2025 temporary exhibition at the Gergovia Museum.
Starting on 5 April 2025
