Musée des Merveilles in Tende, France is a museum that documents stone age and other historic artefacts from the Mercantour National Park.

There is notably a large collection of real and reproduced petroglyphs from the surroundings of the nearby Bégo Mountain.

Surveyed for millennia, the first mention of the Vallée des Merveilles is due to Pierre de Montfort[2] in 1460.

[3] It is not mentioned in the literature until the sixteenth century but will not arouse the interest of researchers until the end of the 1800s.

From 1879, the Englishman Clarence Bicknell developed a passion for this site and devoted thirty years of his life to it.
