Here you can touch !

In general, it is strictly forbidden to touch objects presented in a museum for obvious reasons of conservation and security. The Museum of TAUTAVEL is breaking the prohibition and now invites the public to “touch” objects specially designed for this purpose. These are casts of original archaeological finds discovered in the Caune ARAGO TAUTAVEL. These pieces were chosen for their tactile qualities on the one hand, and their didactic interest on the other hand. These tactile objects also serve as a support for giving comments to disabled audiences.
