Visitor comments

"My ticket for the Theatre gave us access to the Museum, opposite. Some amazing Roman bits and pieces. Lovely place to sit and contemplate" - Trip Advisor
"Although this museum is small it is well worth a visit. With very efficient audio guides it is big enough to keep you interested. It is part of a visit to the Theatre opposite and included in the price." - Trip Advisor
"This museum is quite small and is conveniently located just across the street from the famous Ancient Theatre of Orange. There is nothing really special about this museum, bit it is worth a quick check up since it comes free with the admission ticket to the Theatre." - Trip Advisor
