The town of Ath is well known for its folklore, but did you know that it is also home to two other giants measuring around 12 metres in length?

These are two wooden boats, a barge and a dugout canoe, preserved at the Gallo-Roman Centre. Damaged by time and patiently restored, these veritable treasures bear witness to our past and the skills of our ancestors.

These two exceptional pieces are accompanied by a wide variety of collections, mostly dating from the Gallo-Roman period: objects made of leather, glass, ceramics, wood and metal. There are examples of everyday life, such as crockery, shoes and tools, but also unusual and rare items: boats, swords, statuettes, etc. The barge, recognised as a treasure by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, and the canoe are undoubtedly the most important pieces!
A visit to the museum is an opportunity to discover them.

The Gallo-Roman Museum also hosts temporary, educational exhibitions rich in archaeological objects, as well as tours, events and activities for families, history lovers and school groups. Visit the website and check the museum's calendar for more information.

Immerse yourself in the history and daily life of the Gallo-Romans, from navigation to ancient crafts.

You'll have fun discovering the past!
