Underbart intressant museum för både stora och små. Den permanenta utställningen ger en fantastisk pedagogisk insikt i hur livet utvecklats med ett lokalt fokus, samtidigt som det ger kunskap om utvecklingen från istiden tills nu för människan. Rekommenderas.

Roligt att se vad som hänt i bygden och hur den vuxit upp. Hur det började och har utvecklats.

Historic Site of the week

La Hougue Bie

La Hougue Bie is a Neolithic ritual site which was in use around 3500 BC. Hougue is a Jèrriais/Norman language word meaning a \'mound\' and comes from the Old Norse word haugr. The site consists of 18.6m long passage chamber covered by a 12.2m high mound. The site was first excavated in 1925 by the Société Jersiaise. Fragments of twenty vase supports were found along with the scattered remains of at least eight individuals. Gravegoods, mostly pottery, were also present. At some time in the past, the site had evidently been entered and ransacked.

In Western Europe, it is one of the largest and best preserved passage graves and the most impressive and best preserved monument of Armorican Passage Grave group. Although they are termed \'passage graves\', they were ceremonial sites, whose function was more similar to churches or cathedrals, where burials were incidental.
