The Musée de la Marine
The Musée de la Marine, in its current form, dates from 1976 and 2002. Designed by Pierre Orange, then curator, it was redesigned in 2002 keeping the spirit of its creation. A redeployment of the collections has made it possible to group them by theme in a historical context. The historical and maritime collections were built up, like the ethnographic collections of objects and costumes, in 1899, during the major exhibition held by the Société du Vieux-Honfleur, for the annual congress of the Société nationale d'Ethnographie.
The Norman Museum of Ethnography and Popular Art
Housed in a sixteenth-century half-timbered house that housed the prison of the Viscounty of Roncheville, the museum offers a free tour through 9 furnished rooms according to their purpose: Mercier shop, cooper's workshop, headdress and costume room, weaver's room, the room of remembrance, the bourgeois' room, the girl's room, the printer's room and the sailor's dining room.
Norman furniture, costumes and headdresses from Normandy, earthenware from Pré-d'Auge, various objects, make up the collection gathered for more than a century by the members of the Société du Vieux-Honfleur.
