TheCaptain visited on 14th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 There is lots of stuff in here, found at various places in the locality. Some good explanations of the various types of dolmen and tumulus to be found, and some lovely replicas of many of the engraved stones to be found. Seems like I have seen most of these now.

Museum in the centre of Carnac town, with large collections of items from the prehistoric to the middle ages. One of the most important museums in France, and perhaps the most important in the world for megalithic items.

There is lots of stuff to be seen in here, mostly found at various places in the locality. There are some good explanations of the various types of dolmen and tumulus to be found, and some lovely replicas of many of the engraved stones discovered.
