Montpellier Museums
(Montpellier, Herault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, FR)



Montpellier's museums cover a wealth of significant and historical gems. As well as documenting the development of Montpellier and the surrounding area, they also showcase the city's artistic and cultural merits through the ages.

Perhaps the most unusual of Montpellier's museums are those that record the city's links with science and medicine: the Musée de l'Anatomie and the Agropolis Museum.
