Meet in France,
The story of Roman civilization
Visit the Museum of Roman Civilization in Nîmes, southern France, a city so important during the Roman Empire that it was called the Little Rome of Gaul!
The building itself is famous for being covered with over 7,000 glass tiles, designed by French architect Elisabeth de Portzamparc. When the light reflects off them, it creates a spectacular sight reminiscent of Roman mosaics.
The Roman Museum is located across from the Colosseum, making it a great place to visit after your visit. Enjoy a special time viewing artifacts from over 3,000 years ago, as well as the history and materials of ancient Roman civilization.
