Musée de Normandie

A solid, no-nonsense museum about Normandy’s history and culture. Lots of artifacts from prehistory to modern times, but nothing that’ll leave you stunned. More of a quiet detour than a must-see — great if you’re into history, or just need a break from the crowds. Nice enough, just don’t expect fireworks.

The exhibition is not foreign tourist friendly. The information about the paintings and other things are all in French! I understand that museum is located in France. But do you expect that every tourist coming to Caen for a couple of days who wants to learn about French history, culture and art will know French language?

A museum inside the castle grounds, covering multiple time periods in Normandy. It was an interesting smaller museum. Which unusually for France, has multiple displays in English.

Normally I don't visit on site museums but I decided to visit this one and was not disappointed . There was lots to see and also much more than simple art. Lots to discover about the history of Normandy and William the Conqueror in particular.

Relatively small but informative museum. It was about the Caen area through the ages and had some interesting artifacts (found the hand made lace very interesting) for English speakers only some of the information is provided in English but if you know how to use Google lens you'll be fine.

Nice museum about the history if Normandie. Not related to WW2

Interesting museum, full of facts, figures and life in Normandy

From the stone age to today everything you could want to know about Normandy.
