Musee des Pecheries

Le Musée des Pêcheries de Fécamp a ouvert ses portes en 2017 dans une ancienne sécherie de morues, au cœur du port de Fécamp. Il regroupe des collections liées au passé maritime de la ville, ancienne capitale des Terre-Neuvas, mais aussi des collections historiques et de Beaux-Arts.

A great museum, you've GOT to visit if you're in the region! It gives you a very detailed description of the life the fisher-folk who belonged to the region led. It makes you grateful for everything you have and respect nature for what she truly is!

Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen

Reviewed By Bubbles73uk - Weedon Bec, United Kingdom

The Musee des Beaux-Arts at Rouen is one of the best provincial museums in France, so if you are in Rouen on a rainy day like I was (or even if it isn't raining!), I highly recommend setting aside a couple of hours for a visit. The Cathedral Notre-Dame in Rouen was a recurring subject for Monet when he lived in nearby Giverny, and this excellent museum displays one of these canvases, along with works by Gericault, Boudin, Sisley, Renoir, Caillebot, Delecroix and many others. The paintings collection is especially strong, but there are also many fine sculptures and objets d'art. The whole museum has a very modern and professional air. And it's free! Unbelievable for a museum of this quality.

Ceramics Museum (Musee de la Ceramique)

Reviewed By ChrisM51 - Adelaide, Australia

I never expected to find such fine maijolica in Rouen - but they had a thriving industry and the museum has some lovely examples. The building itself is very fine and worth visiting in its own right.

Aitre St-Maclou

Former house used for the bodies of plague victims and current site of Rouen's Fine Art Academy.

Reviewed By Jamcar16

Most unusual place in Rouen. An ossuary dating from the 14th century. Amazing carvings of sculls, bones and grave diggers tools on the ancient wooden and stone buildings. To get the best out of a visit here it is best to read up on the history of the buildings before a visit to really appreciate this place.

Musee d’art Moderne Andre Malraux - MuMa

The first thing you notice about the Musée d'art moderne André Malraux-MuMa Le Havre is its breathtaking coastal setting. As you approach the spacious, light-filled museum building, Henri-Georges Adam's monumental concrete sculpture The Signal heightens the experience, framing a slice of the maritime landscape that inspired many of the works in the museum's collections. Le Havre has nurtured artists like Monet, Dubuffet, Friesz, Dufy and Braque. And MuMa is a pillar of the city's art history. Inaugurated in 1961 by André Malraux, then France's Minister of Cultural Affairs, MuMa is known for its late-19th and 20th-century collections. From the Impressionists to the Fauves, the museum's collections have been enriched by gifts such as works from the studio of Eugène Boudin and the Marande donation. More recently, Hélène Senn-Foulds donated an impressive collection built up by her grandfather, Olivier Senn, in the early 20th century. Thanks to the donation, MuMa's collection of Impressionist works is today one of France's largest, and the public can now enjoy works by Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Courbet and Corot.
