aolson visited on 20th Apr 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Spectacular setting. The reconstructions and relocations in the grounds are as impressive as the interior of the museum. Some of the items could use more thorough explanations. (For example, the names of the Auvernier Dolmen, the Columbier round cairn, and the undecorated menhir from Bauvaix are not given). Information in English would also be helpful for visitors from further afield.

The Laténium in Neuchâtel is a very modern and well presented museum and discovery park with megaliths, reconstructions and a huge collection of Neolithic artifacts from lake dwellings. (Neuchâtel County)

From Wikipedia
The Laténium is composed of a 2,500 m² parc, and a museum building which also harbours the archaeological section of the University of Neuchâtel. The parc features dolmens and erratic stones, reconstitutions of prehistoric and antique devices (a La Tène house, a Gallo-Roman ship and a Celtic bridge, notably), and modern works of art. The museum displays the Bevaix boat, a 20-metre Gallo-Roman ship found in Bevaix. Items from periods comprised between the paleolithic to the Roman empire are on display, including the remains of a Magdalenian hunting camp.
