This difficult to find museum shares a building with the main library. It is modern and has many good exhibits. The paintings cover a wide range of genres and there are some excellent sculptures. The entrance fee of 5 euros seems expensive at first but once you get to the second floor the gallery is very large. The galleries are well laid out and explanations are clear both in English and French. Not all the paintings are translated into English, but they are still worth viewing. Some of the marine art is exceptional. Sadly the most modern exhibit, Cherbourg today, is not translated.

Come and visit La Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg, a family attraction all about man’s adventures under the sea, and a must when you are in Normandy. You can spend the whole day here and go round “Titanic, return to Cherbourg”, an exhibition which has its like nowhere else in France. It is on the theme of the celebrated liner, but also on emigration. You will also be able to listen to the Captain of Le Redoutable telling you about his life on board the largest submarine open to the public in the world. Then you will gaze in awe at our 17 aquariums, including the magical, 11-metre-deep, Abyssal Aquarium.

We stopped off on a cruise. The museum was right next to the cruise terminal and worth every euro. The Titanic exhibition was particularly good as was the nuclear submarine.
