    The Archaeology Museum in Antibes, France, offers visitors an informative look into the region's ancient history. Located in the Bastion Saint-André, a 17th-century fortress, the museum itself is part of the historical experience. The collection primarily focuses on artifacts from local underwater excavations and the Roman era.

    Visitors appreciate the well-organized exhibits that showcase a variety of items including amphorae, everyday objects, and remnants of ancient shipwrecks. The museum does a good job of presenting the maritime history of Antibes and its surroundings. Many find the Roman glassware and pottery collections particularly interesting.

    While the museum is relatively small, it compensates with the quality and significance of its exhibits. The information provided is generally clear and informative, though some visitors note that more extensive English translations would be helpful for international tourists.

    The rooftop terrace is often highlighted as a high point of the visit, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the old town of Antibes. This adds an extra dimension to the museum experience.

    On the downside, some visitors find the museum a bit dated in its presentation style and feel that interactive elements could enhance the experience, especially for younger visitors. The lack of air conditioning in some areas can also make summer visits less comfortable.

    Overall, the Archaeology Museum provides a solid introduction to the ancient history of Antibes and its maritime heritage. It's a worthwhile stop for history enthusiasts and those interested in archaeology, though it might not captivate all visitors for an extended period.
