The collection of François-Henri Duchevreuil, an amateur archaeologist from Equeurdreville, provided the foundation for this museum that was first housed in the Town Hall.

 

This "cabinet of curios" contains fossils, minerals, shells, statuettes and objects from Egypt, Asia, Greece and Oceania, as well as a number of local archaeological finds.
