The Roman Museum in Vallon houses two mosaics, "in situ", from the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD. The hunting mosaic (venatio, 97 m2) features four hunting scenes in the amphitheatre. It is the largest Roman mosaic currently preserved in Switzerland. The Bacchus and Ariadne mosaic decorates the floor of a room in the central building. Visitors can also see a scale model of the Gallo-Roman buildings as they looked in the 3rd century AD, as well as mural panels and a life-size element of a painted arcaded portico. The collection on display includes numerous objects of daily life and a magnificent set of bronze statuettes that were part of the domestic altar (laraire).
