The museum is housed in a former 19th-century pottery factory (from the Bompard family) and offers collections from the Lezoux archaeological site. Lezoux was one of the largest ceramic production centers in the Roman Empire. The potters formed hundreds of millions of vases on tens of hectares. Among these productions, the most important and striking feature is that of sigillated dishes. This ceramics, produced during the first five centuries of our era and marketed in mass, is mainly witness to the spread of Romanity throughout Europe.

Explore, observe, play, experiment, touch, feel: thanks to a young audience and tactile adaptations, the permanent exhibition is accessible to the youngest and to people with sensory or physical disabilities. The General Council of Puy-de-Dôme wanted to create a museum that was accessible to everyone. The courses, scenography, showcases and educational modules were made in collaboration with people with disabilities to allow everyone a better autonomy for the visit.
