| I visited the Archeaological Museum on the 27th of January (our computer died and it's just now that we have a new one ready to rock-a-roll). It was my "Disneyland", there were about 6 other people inside and the collection was magnificent. I arrived almost too late to see the Roman collection. As one part is open first and then they open the second part. I had to almost run through taking photos and doing quick sketches. My obsession of the female figure was enriched by seeing the pre-historic figures. |
 |
| Roman belt buckle. |
 | |
| This metal work was so fine. |
 |
| Spare eyes. |
 |
| Roman Goddesses, made from moulds. |
 |
| Here is where the pre-historic goodies start.... I was so amazed by the details of the carvings. |
 |
| Female Figures. |
 |
| Animal carvings from some caves. |
 |
| These ladies are so small, measuring 4-5cm in height. |
 |
| The little head is carved from ivory, and is very famous, called "Venus of Brassempouy" (French: la Dame de Brassempouy, meaning "Lady of Brassempouy", or Dame à la Capuche, "Lady with the Hood") |
 |
| They also had an exhibition on the Celts. |
