Musée Nicolas-Poussin

The Nicolas Poussin Museum occupies a 18th-century mansion and displays works by the Baroque painter, regional antiquities including mosaic floors, and period furnishings arranged throughout its rooms. The collections span from paintings to archaeological discoveries found across the local area.

The building rose during the 1700s as a wealthy residence when Les Andelys thrived through commerce and artistic support. Its transformation into a memorial to the celebrated painter came later to preserve his legacy in the town.

The museum centers on Nicolas Poussin's works and regional art collections that shaped local artistic traditions. Visitors encounter how this painter became intertwined with the community's creative identity.

The museum sits centrally in Les Andelys and is easily reached on foot from the town center. Plan time to move through the varied exhibition rooms at a comfortable pace.

The museum hosts drawing workshops where visitors occasionally witness artists at work. An outdoor garden area rotates temporary exhibitions, refreshing the displayed content throughout the year.
