MAHB | Musée d’Art et d’Histoire Baron Gérard

It represents the story of Bayeux from the beginning to nowadays. Re-innovated building, stylish synergy of old and contemporary. The collection of art is banal. However, the part of the local hand-made cobwebs is impressive. It's even possible to watch the process. People working there are really welcoming and smiling.

Very interesting local museum. Visited as part of a combined ticket deal with two other museums including the Bayeux tapestry one. Interesting mix of art and history through the ages, with some unique displays. Good shop.

This is an outstanding museum that anyone interested in history will love. It is well organised chronologically and feels spacious. The highlights for me were the lace making, and the ceramics but there are some lovely paintings too.

Visited on a heritage weekend so was free to enter. This museum is a fantastic walk through the history of the region with one big draw back that many have pointed out in their reviews. The curation is terrible, in small black font and seemingly done from Google translate to English. With poor lighting in parts it's pretty much impossible to make out. Something is better than nothing, but it could be oh so much better. Its a great exhibit, great building, and one big letdown

Right in the centre of Bayeux, one street away from the tapestry museum, this museum has several sections from Roman antiquities, local history, and eighteenth-century paintings to a display of lace design, techniques and production. I was also impressed by a full courtroom and consultation backroom for the judges, as left behind by history. Nice museum shop.

I had a wonderful time in this museum. The display of the art works and artifacts is very well done and integrated perfectly with the building. The collection is marvellous. I would definitely recommend it.

Don’t miss this quirky and beautifully curated museum , amazingly preserved courtroom and beautiful and informative lace exhibition.

Wonderful museum. The conversion of the palace has been done with great care and imagination. The old courtroom is fantastic and the exhibition of lace works is stunning.
