Grand-Pressigny, life size prehistory....

A prehistoric, life-size welcome!

Indeed, when you arrive at the Grand-Pressigny, the welcome is quite impressive since it is provided by a small Megaloceros, whose woods are about 3.50 m wide, and which is only about 1.80 m at the withers. A nice little apartment animal! In his reception function, he is assisted by a large plush toy: a woolly mammoth!

Grand-Pressigny: prehistory in grand style....

The museum is rich in the collections of the Association des Amis du Musée du Grand-Pressigny, and presents many unpublished collections in superb rooms. It is really a place not to be missed.

The unusual side of this museum and that it constitutes a panorama of current knowledge on regional prehistory, supported by a very clear educational presentation, supported by illustrated panels, models, and multimedia achievements.

A word of advice: kill two birds with one stone (carved flint, of course...!). Extend your visit by the exciting site of the Archaeolab, in Abilly... it's very close! (see article)
