"Archéocapsule: archéologie des sexes" - Temporary exhibition at the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais - Vix treasury

On what basis did archaeologists identify the body found at Vix as that of a woman, known today as the "Lady" or "Princess" of Vix? Why was, and still is, this sexual identification debated? How has this discovery changed our view of the society in which the Lady of Vix lived?
Come and discover the answers to these questions, from 1 June to 31 August 2024, during the temporary exhibition at the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais - Trésor de Vix: "Archéocapsules: archéologie des sexes", designed and produced by the Institut National de Recherche en Archéologie Préventive (INRAP). Archéocapsules are travelling exhibitions organised by INRAP that put a contemporary issue into perspective through the lens of archaeology. Produced on light, mobile media, this exhibition is integrated into the collections of the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais - Trésor de Vix to highlight the importance of sexual differentiation in our understanding of past societies.
