In 1899, the fire of the Tribunal, installed in the episcopal palace where the Archaeological Society presents its collections, reduced to ashes more than 60 years of efforts. A new museum was then set up in the former convent of the Capuchins, in the Jardin des Plantes; but, in 1944, the battles of the Liberation destroyed the buildings and collections it contained. After the war, the town of Avranches acquired the walls of the old prison, formerly the official palace of the bishopric, and appointed a curator, Michel Delalonde, who set about rebuilding the museum.
