Musee Prehistorique

Now clearly ‘La Musee Prehistorique’ is not in itself a prehistoric monument, but the sheer number of prehistoric monuments which have been saved and re-erected in its grounds make it worthy of inclusion on the website – and not just as a ‘facility’.

I’m not going to list them all, because there are so many – cists, menhirs, dolmens, stele, and get this, the complete restoration of an entire allee couverte which was saved from destruction and rebuilt here, stone by stone.

Musée de la Préhistoire Finistérienne
