Discover the site
Set in an idyllic location, the Laténium invites visitors to stroll through 500 centuries of history, from the time of the Neanderthals until the beginning of the modern age. The museum presents the latest archaeological research in a playful and entertaining way, and the archaeological park, which lies directly on the shores of the lake of Neuchâtel, allows visitors to discover reconstructions of a prehistoric hunters camp, lakeside dwellings, a stone tomb, a grave mound, and a Roman port with a sunken ship.
