#LeMondeDeClovis
On the occasion of the exhibition "The World of Clovis", the National Archaeology Museum is inventing a new way of visiting the museum, at the crossroads of books "where you are the hero", role-playing games and video games. Through a fun and immersive journey, the exhibition invites visitors of all ages, alone, with family or friends, to dive into the world of the early Middle Ages.
During a visit, go back in time and slip into the shoes of a character from the Merovingian period and build your own "life path" by following the Web App. Choose your character among the four proposed and discover what fate has in store for you. The exhibition will offer you multiple paths, several alternative endings and a great deal of freedom of choice, so that you can be the actor of your visit and the hero of your story!
Discovering our four heroes
A true interactive educational tool, "The World of Clovis: the exhibition in which you are the hero" aims to transmit notions of history and archaeology through games and to give a sensitive account of certain realities of Frankish society by approaching archaeological news in a spirit accessible to all.
