The permanent exhibitions
Discover the history of Salagon and step into a village forge.
A part of the museum's collections is presented all year round via these two exhibitions.
L'exposition "Salagon, c'est toute une histoire" raconte aux enfants et aux adultes les destins multiples du monument tour à tour sanctuaire, nécropole, résidence et même ferme.
Dans l'exposition "Salagon c'est toute une histoire", on apprend qu'au XVe siècle les moines abandonnent le prieuré qui est confié à un prieur commendataire.
L'exposition permanente est visible dans la salle romane. Le musée de Salagon possède 5 salles permettant d’accueillir les expositions.
Créée en 2010, cette exposition vous permet de remonter les siècles pour découvrir les premières traces d'occupation du site de Salagon.
Salagon through the ages
Take a look back at 2,000 years of history at Salagon. The inscribed and sculpted stones, decorative elements and objects found in excavations or depicted in models will take you back several centuries to discover the first evidence of habitation at Salagon, understand the context in which the first religious building was constructed, discover the different uses to which the site was put through the centuries and how it developed, and imagine how the monks and later the priors lived.
Two models accessible to people with visual impairments are available on request. One model provides an overview of the architecture of Salagon's buildings. The other shows the different ways the site was occupied, as reconstructed by archaeologists. The amazing chronology of Salagon has been pieced together from eight excavations carried out between the 1960s and the late noughties. A wealth of history!
