For the European Heritage Days, the Saint-Lô Museum of Art and History invites you to discover the secrets of a museum. This time it is not only the collections that are featured, but the museum itself. Through the hundreds of works and objects presented, discover how collections are constituted, what are the professions of museums, how a temporary exhibition is prepared, how and why one restores a painting... The museum team welcomes you and accompanies you to answer all your questions.

About the location

Musée d'art et d'histoire

Place du Champ de Mars, 50000 Saint-Lô

Located in the heart of downtown Saint-Lô, the museum of art and history has been housed in a building with contemporary architecture since 1989\. Through its many works, its archives, familiar and sometimes unusual objects, the museum offers a dive into the art and history of Saint-Lô from its origins to the present day. Go back in time in the Saint-Lô of yesteryear, meet its illustrious inhabitants (playwright, poet, astronomer, etc.), then enter an apartment of the 1950s and discover how the city was rebuilt after 1944\. At the turn of the rooms, you will watch the passionate love of the shepherd Gombault and his wife Macée and finally treat yourself to an excursion to the sea or the countryside with the greatest painters of their time!
