Housed in the Hôtel de Labenche, a Renaissance building from the 16th century, this museum traces the archaeological history of the city from prehistoric to the middle ages. It has a large collection of finds and includes the oldest preserved Eucharistic dove in Europe which dates to the 11th century. Coming to more recent history, it has collections representing the cultural development of the city and a collection of English Mortlake tapestries from the 17th century.
