Epernay [51] Museum of Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology

Epernay [51] Museum of Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology

Located on the Avenue de Champagne, a prestigious thoroughfare in Epernay, the Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology Museum tells the story of the Champagne region, from the formation of its soil several million years ago to the present day. It brings together collections of international scope in the heart of a modern and interactive scenography adapted to all audiences. The visit begins with the geological and paleontological history of the region. It continues with the history of human settlement in Champagne, illustrated by a rich selection of regional archaeological pieces leading the visitor from Neolithic burials to the goldsmiths of the Merovingian society, through the exceptional Celtic ornaments and Gallo-Roman pottery. The tour then turns to the wine of Champagne, a regional heritage and the jewel in the crown of the French economy. Through ten rooms, the visitor discovers an important wine collection composed of tools, machines, glassware, paintings, lithographs, posters and advertising plates tracing the evolution of the production and consumption of this iconic drink. The visit ends with a tribute to local personalities, collectors of the 19th century and the Belle Epoque who bequeathed to the museum paintings, sculptures, decorative art objects and ethnographic curiosities from around the world. The Château Perrier, a historic monument and former residence of champagne merchants, provides an exceptional architectural and landscape setting for the 2000 objects on display.
