In 1905, the town of Menton decided to build its municipal museum. The building, designed by architect Adrien Rey, opened in 1909. However, as early as 1878, the commune already had a museum, housed in the town hall.
The city of Menton owes the creation of its first municipal museum to Stanislas Bonfils. At the time of foundation, this naturalist passionate about prehistory has donated his collections, including the product of his excavations on the site of caves Grimaldi ...
Today, the Museum of Regional Prehistory, which is the result of this initial collection, presents a highly enriched fresco of the evolution and way of life of mankind 1 million years ago...
