Archaeology from Neolithic times to the present day.
The museum up on Saint Sigismond's hill presents local life from Neolithic times to the present day: prehistoric tools, funerary furniture, Gallo-Roman architecture, jewellery, ceramics and coins that bear witness to the first human settlements in the Tarentaise. These artefacts retrace the history of Aime, the town inhabited by the Gallic people called 'Les Ceutrons', then in 21 AD the capital of the Roman province of the Graian Alps.
The story begins in the Neolithic period and runs right through to the present day.
The museum is named after a former mayor of Aime who was a visionary. In anticipation of La Plagne's mines closing, he brought together the other local communes to found the resort of La Plagne.
Today, the Société d’Histoire et d‘Archéologie d’Aime manages the museum's collections.
Tours and opening times are organised in conjunction with La Plagne Vallée tourist office.
