Frequent questions

Can one visit out of season?

The pavilions are closed from November to April: frost and humidity require the floors to rest. Professional visits can be arranged with conservation.

Is the site wheelchair accessible?

The reception pavilion and the ramps of pavilions I to IV are. The gravel path between volumes needs assistance in rain.

How to book a group or a class?

Write to visite@mosaiques-orbe.test at least ten days ahead. Marc Dutoit leads guided visits (45 or 90 min).

May one take photographs?

Yes, without flash. Tripods are refused in the pavilions: too close to the floors. Images in this demo are reconstructions, not official shots.

Until the season

The gallery is open here, now. The tesserae wait for May.
