There&#8217;s something for young and old alike, including a quest for famous paintings such as Claude Monet&#8217;s <em>Cath\u00e9drale de Rouen<\/em> and Marc Chagall&#8217;s <em>Vierge, lune et colombe au coucher de soleil<\/em>. We also enjoyed immersing ourselves in the life of Joan of Arc through art: numerous paintings and sculptures tell the story of her extraordinary destiny. The Impressionist gallery, which reveals Normandy and its lights, is also well worth a visit. Finally, the museum organizes workshops to introduce children to art in a fun way, and provides educational booklets.
