"Ancient Scenes," the temporary exhibition at the Oise Archaeological Museum, offers a glimpse into the theaters of northern Gaul, particularly the Grand Théâtre de Vendeuil-Caply, next to the museum. What were these monuments, which could accommodate a few thousand people, intended for? Were they simply used for performances or for more enigmatic purposes? How were they built? What were the decorative elements? A digital reconstruction of the stage wall, the result of a crowdfunding campaign, projected in the museum's main hall, will immerse spectators in this ancient site. This exhibition will allow local residents to rediscover these famous remains from a different perspective, and visitors to admire the richness of the local heritage.
