If the history of the first men in Brittany interests you, you will love the Carnac Museum. Its collection, which is rich in documents, scale models, maps and plans enables you to better understand these mysterious ancestors who populated the region almost 4,000 years before our time. The objects recuperated from archaeological excavations, such as axes, jewellery and painted pottery give an idea of their daily lives.

The Carnac Museum, the leading museum in the world for the megalithic period, also highlights the architecture of this period by attempting to provide answers to numerous enigmas posed by the construction of the alignments. Are they funeral-related, religious or astronomical works? The dolmens, cairns and other covered paths are explained, and their evolution retraced.
