Museum of Art and History Baron Gérard, Art and history museum in Bayeux Episcopal Palace, France
The Baron Gérard Museum displays 4,000 pieces from its collection of 35,000 artifacts, spanning from prehistoric times to modern European art.
The museum's origins date back to 1793 when municipal collections were gathered during the French Revolution under an arts commission.
The museum exhibits the regional heritage through fourteen thematic sections, including the traditional Bayeux lace and porcelain productions.
Located next to Bayeux Cathedral, the museum operates daily with extended hours from May to September and shorter winter hours from October to April.
