Collections at Musée d'Opale Sud
The museum houses regional archaeological collections, from proto-history to the medieval period, as well as paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among the oldest objects discovered in the north of France are objects from the 3rd century BC found on the salt production site of Sorrus. The museum also displays a statuette of Sucellos, a Celtic god, which is one of the most beautiful representations of this deity found in France. This statuette testifies to the process of Romanization of the region.
