Our review<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through an immersive journey, the museum invites visitors to discover the story of Joan of Arc. It focuses on the period from the end of his life to his posterity. The palace itself was the setting for the 2 trials of the famous Pucelle d&#8217;Orl\u00e9ans. She was burnt alive in 1431 in the Place du Vieux-March\u00e9, aged just 19 at the time. With 1,000 square meters dedicated to a spectacular and innovative visitor experience, we\u2019re confident that the Historial will become a must-see attraction in Rouen!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-6c7G4k5\/0\/dcbed92c\/L\/i-6c7G4k5-L.jpg\" alt=\"Joan of Arc Museum\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 3 things to see during your visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s hard to choose what we liked best about our visit, so innovative was it?

Our review<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you curious? If that&#8217;s the case, you&#8217;re going to love the museum of iron art in Rouen, which is home to many strange and fascinating treasures. Housed in a former Gothic church, the Le Secq des Tournelles Museum is home to the world&#8217;s largest collection of antique ironwork. From signs to tools and scientific instruments, we discovered some truly unique iron objects there! We highly recommend visiting this place. Even though we weren&#8217;t particularly interested in the ironwork, we really fell in love with this place.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/n-r2MKTJ\/Rouen\/Mus&#xE9;e-de-Secq-des-Tourelles\/i-hFszWV2\/1\/fdbfdb90\/L\/entree-musee-secq-tournelles-rouen-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ironwork Museum\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 3 things to see during your visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum never ceased to surprise us from start to finish!

When you visit this place, you&#8217;ll learn about the importance of the river and the port of Rouen through model ships and authentic maritime artifacts. We learned more about the trades involved in navigation, importing and exporting goods, and the evolution of navigation techniques.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R23i-River\/i-jM6sn2T\/1\/eaaa458d\/L\/Seine_river_Rouen_Normandie-6489-L.jpg\" alt=\"The Banks of the Seine in Rouen\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Banks of the Seine in Rouen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 3 things to see during your visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Housed in a former storage shed on the quays of the Seine, this museum really appealed to us. We immersed ourselves in Rouen&#8217;s maritime world and gained a better understanding of its key role in the region&#8217;s development. These were the highlights of our visit:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>the whale skeleton<\/strong>: hanging from the museum&#8217;s ceiling, we could observe this magnificent specimen that washed up in the area in 1927.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>the Vikings exhibition<\/strong>: we learned more about the characteristics of their ships, their expeditions and their invasions of Normandy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>the Thibault collection<\/strong>: an impressive collection of over 200 ship models, including some of the most famous of the 20th century.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\"

children<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Museum of Natural History<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for an educational experience, this museum boasts an impressive collection of fascinating specimens. It&#8217;s an ideal destination for a family visit, as you can discover the diversity of nature. Children will be fascinated by the animal species, minerals, and fossils on display. It&#8217;s an enriching experience that will stimulate their curiosity and interest in the natural world. We really enjoyed visiting this place. Please note before planning your visit: the museum is at the heart of the major \u201cBeauvoisine\u201d metropolitan project, which will eventually merge the Museum of Antiquities and the Natural History Museum. As a result, these spaces are changing rapidly, and temporary closures may occur.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/n-r2MKTJ\/Rouen\/Divers\/i-V8kZ22m\/0\/4c29bbdf\/L\/musee-histoire-naturelle-rouen-L.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Natural History\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Coming soon: our article on the Rouen Museum of Natural History.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mus\u00e9e L&#8217;Atrium<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further from the city center, this science museum offers a wide variety of fun and educational activities. Children can enjoy interactive play areas and discover scientific exhibits. Their senses will also be stimulated, as will their creativity and curiosity. We found this place to be particularly suitable for learning, but in a fun way.

We found this visit an interesting way of learning about the history of rope and cable manufacture, and the techniques used. We were able to contemplate the rope factory&#8217;s old machinery: cabling loom, winding machine, braiding machines and other technical tools. By the way, it&#8217;s good to know that if you have the Rouen Pass, you&#8217;ll have access to the museum&#8217;s temporary exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fire Brigade Museum (Montville)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located a 30-minute drive from downtown Rouen, we found this museum to be both educational and useful. It&#8217;s an interesting way to discover the history and missions of these everyday heroes. You can explore vehicles, observe uniforms and equipment used by firefighters, and learn more about their vital role in protecting the community.
