Special Halloween visit: haunted museum

During the All Saints’ Day school holidays, the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes hosts a special Halloween visit held in the dark, with torches as the only source of light.

A night visit by torchlight among the collections

Visitors make their way through the collections in the dark, torch in hand, and come across strange creatures and mysterious stories. The haunted museum turns the usual route into an exploration packed with surprises.

A tragic ghost, a beheaded Gaul and a tipsy bacchante

After its success last year, this night visit is back, billed as the museum’s “most spine-chilling” one. For the occasion, a tragic ghost, a beheaded Gaul, a saint in distress and a tipsy bacchante come to life, and each has a story to tell. There is no telling what will leap out around the next corner.

Humour and unease go hand in hand, which makes this an outing to enjoy with family or friends.
