Musée d'Art, Histoire et Archéologie d'Évreux

About

The Musée d'Evreux (or museum of the former bishopric, or museum of Art, History and Archaeology of Evreux) was created in 1873. Since 1961, it has occupied the former Episcopal Palace of Évreux, a late 15th-century building connected to Notre Dame Cathedral by a cloister. He has the label museum of France.

It houses approximately 1,500 m2 of exhibition rooms on four levels and periodically houses temporary exhibitions. The fourth level of the museum, in the basement, was created in 1985 and revealed the foundations of the Gallo-Roman rampart, visible from the exhibition hall. This room is dedicated to Prehistory and Antiquity.

The former Episcopal Palace and its outbuildings are classified as historical monuments by order of 23 October 1907.
