Musée de la Préhistoire

This museum is chock full of finds from megalithic sites throughout the region, so it serves as a fantastic primer to the area and its prehistory. The museum chronicles life in and around Carnac from the palaeolithic and neolithic eras to the Middle Ages. It's a must for admiring and understanding beautifully made neolithic axe heads, pottery, jewelry and other priceless and very rare artifacts.
