Ville de L'Aigle

The Museum of Musical Instruments was born from a donation of Marcel ANGOT, an aiglon musician and composer. Passionate, Monsieur ANGOT had gathered an important collection of which the city of L'Aigle inherited in 1983. The ANGOT fund consists of about 90 musical instruments presented under a showcase. Three major organological themes emerge from this rich collection: wind instruments, string instruments and ethnic instruments. These musical instruments are of a wide variety of origins and offer a remarkable panorama of the past and present instrumental universe.

About the location

Hôtel de Ville de L'Aigle

Place Fulbert de Beina, 61300 l'Aigle

Orne

At the beginning of the 11th century, a fortress was built by Fulbert de Beina who would have discovered, in this place, an eagle’s nest (hence the name attributed to the City). The current castle was built in 1690 on the site of the old fortress, the work lasted 40 years. The last Marquis, Joseph des Acres, alienated the castle in 1792\. It was then sold many times. After the bombing of June 7, 1944, and after restoration, the castle became the town hall.
