Origin and history

The Old Libourne Historical Museum has its origins in the collections gathered by the founding members of the Libourne Historical and Archaeological Society in 1933. These collections, dedicated to the archaeology and local history of Libournais, are exhibited in several places, including the Robin Museum and the former IPTF. They cover various periods, with a particular emphasis on prehistory (such as the discoveries of Saint-Germain-la-Rivière) and the Gallo-Roman era (notably the remains of Vayres).

The museum is labeled Musée de France and administratively depends on the town hall of Libourne, although its approximate GPS address places it at Place Abel Surchamp. The accuracy of its location is considered poor (note 5/10), which may reflect changes in assignment or partial moves of collections. The objects exhibited mainly illustrate the rich heritage of the territory of Liechtenstein, from prehistoric to ancient times.

The Libourne Historical and Archaeological Society, which is still active, plays a central role in the management and valuation of these collections. The museum is thus part of a process of preserving and disseminating knowledge about local history, in collaboration with municipal institutions. Its website and contact details (telephone, address) are referenced in official bases such as Museofile, confirming its anchoring in the cultural landscape of New Aquitaine.
