Séviac Museum
Museum/Theme Park - Roman
Le Musée de Montréal-du-Gers is a private museum that was set up to house and study the remains from the nearby Séviac Villa. On various vertical display cases and panels are a number of the more fragile mosaic floors and other artefacts that were removed from the site. Pride of place is given to a spectacular mosaic floor, decorated with a number of trees.

We visited this museum after seeing the Seviac Roman Villa. The museum is on the main square of Montreal - two rooms in the back of the Tourist Office. The museum has several very good mosaics and display cabinets with coins, parts of looms, door hardware, stone carvings and other things found at the villa. We had an excellent lunch at Brasserie L'escale across the square.
