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.
Explore this bygone culinary world until 8 March 2026 at the Gergovie Museum

Cut from Gallic cloth. Costume and jewellery in Gaul
Figuring out Gallic people’s clothing has inspired countless fantasies since the 19th century – whether artistic or historical. What do archaeological discoveries reveal today about their dress habits ? The “Cut from Gallic cloth. Costume and jewellery in Gaul” exhibition bridges scientific research and experimental archaeology to offer an immersive experience that is both engaging and rigorously documented, plunging visitors into the cutthroat world of Gallic fashion.
Discover this blend of history and style with the museum’s new temporary exhibition, from 4 April 2026 to 7 March 2027.
