History

The Departmental Archaeology Museum in Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges was created in 1985 by the General Council of the Haute-Garonne. It is home to a collection of artefacts that were found on the archaeological digs at Lugdunum the county seat of Convènes (today called Comminges) since 1920. Its mission is to promote and encourage archaeological study.

Amongst the notable pieces : the Augustine trophy an exquisite ensemble of marble sculptures discovered in 1926 and a rich collection of votive altars.

The research and conservation departments of the museum are located in the upper town in a building that was formerly the police station and has been completely renovated and classified as a National Monument.
