| The current museum of Aquitaine has for distant ancestor the concise Museum created, by 1783, by the Academy of Bordeaux at the request of the bursar Dupré of Saint-Maur to collect the Roman vestiges brought to light by the important works of town planning begun from the XVIth century and, mainly, in the XVIIIth century. Sunk into oblivion, the concise Museum is reorganized and transferred, in 1960, in the south wing of the City hall, the course of Albret. In 1962, at instigation of Georges-Henri Rivière, creator in 1937, of the museum of the Arts and Popular Traditions and initiator of numerous French museums, the city of Bordeaux decides to transform the primitively archaeological vocation of the concise Museum into a museum of history, archaeology and ethnography regional: he receives then officially the title of museum of Aquitaine. However, the space restricts which it has, run(roam) from Albret, does not allow the development of its collections. So, from 1970, the municipality of Bordeaux envisages the installation of the museum of Aquitaine on the place, run(roam) Minister, of the ancient Philological faculty and the Sciences, inaugurated in 1886. Numerous projects are for the study until 1979 when we decide to preserve the existing building, the work of the architect Pierre-Charles Durand, while reorganizing the various internal spaces in which the needs of the museum and the requirements of a modern museography would find satisfaction. With the exception of the facade, of the monumental hall, both staircases of honor and two classes(courses), the building was totally rethought for the benefit of the museography. The building includes 4 levels among which 5000 m ² are dedicated to the permanent exhibitions, 1000 m² in the temporary exhibitions and 4500 m ² in the reserves. Opened to the public since 1987, the museum of Aquitaine is situated in the heart of the city, near the place Pey-Berland and near the Cathedral. The wealth of its collections allows the guest to relive the history of Bordeaux and its region, since the prehistory until our days and highlights the links of this city and its back-country with overseas. Every object, in a title or in the other one, evokes the regional history. It is a question of reminding the important events which took place in Aquitaine, but also to present the evolution of the way of life of his inhabitants in the course of time (town planning and architecture, daily life, business and craft, intellectual life, funeral and religious rites). Details of the very first order are placed next to more usual objects: they are all documents presented for what they teach us. But by moment the history, with for example Hercule de Bronze of the IIth century later J.C., shows imports between Rome and Aquitaine, but also this timeless favour of masterpieces.
