On 11 April 1868, the municipal museum was created by deliberation of the city council and by the will of an artist, born in Honfleur, Louis-Alexandre Dubourg (opposite). The city council emphasizes that this creation is "inspired by the love of art, the spirit of progress and a selfless dedication to public affairs", thus paying tribute to the founder. Since 1960, the museum has borne the name of Eugène Boudin, in memory of the man who in 1868 supported the first steps of the institution and endowed it with a prestigious bequest in 1899. Attached to his hometown and a friend of Alexandre Dubourg, Eugène Boudin gave his moral support during the installation of the museum, intended to give the people of Honfleur a taste for the Fine Arts.
