The Kelts of La Tène
from 1 to 800 B.C.
The Iron Age
This part of the exhibition reveals the treasures of the renowned La Tène site. The Celts remain a source of fascination because of their dual nature, as expressed by the contrast between their pleasingly rounded art forms and their violent customs.
Many other Celtic remains have been discovered in the region: a collapsed bridge in the Thielle River, quadrangular sacred enclosures and tumuli, or burial mounds, from the First Iron Age.
