About
The Musée des Amériques, formerly known as the Musée des Jacobins, is the town museum in Auch, the capital of the Gers department in France. It is located in the old city between the riverbank and the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie d'Auch. It houses France's second biggest collection of Pre-Columbian art after the quai Branly, with which it has collaborated for many years. The museum garden is a 1600 square metre parc à la française containing plants brought back from the Americas by the Conquistadors.
