The Museum reconstructs, through its various collections, the history of the Royan region: he emergence of the city, the development of tourism, the Second World War, the post-war reconstruction, or the famous stay of Pablo Picasso in Royan.
But the museum also presents temporary exhibitions and a shop.
It is a short walk from Pontaillac beach and Royan casino, also located on Pontaillac beach. From the museum, you are a few minutes by car from the city of Royan and the seafront, but also from the big wheel, or the ferry crossing the Gironde to the Pointe du Verdon.
