Located in the former prisons of the bailiwick, the museum stages a multitude of objects and documents on the history of Marchiennes and its region. Through the six rooms, you will discover the rich abbatial past of the city and many other themes of Prehistory to the Modern Times: the discoveries of excavations of the Gallo-Roman period, the siege of 1712, the massacres of 1793, the adventure of the Corbineau brothers, the industrial past with mining and glassware, the trades and games of the past, the two world wars, works by artists like Loseleur, Labisse or Moral… Two highlights of the visit: the relief plan of the city as it was in 1791 and the sinister dungeons!
