This exhibition, the result of a collaboration between the Musée d'Archéologie nationale (MAN), the Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives (Inrap) and the Association pour la promotion des recherches sur l'âge du Bronze (APRAB) show how the evolution of metallurgy accompanied, both symbolically and culturally, the profound upheavals of Western European society. This period transformed the French territory into a crossroads of cultures.

Suited to all audiences, this exhibition will offer an experience of the Bronze Age through experiments, workshops, lectures and events in the museum and on the national estate.
