Muséum Emmanuel Liais, Ethnographic museum in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, France.
The Muséum Emmanuel Liais displays collections of minerals, fossils, and specimens from local and exotic flora and fauna on its ground floor.
The museum originated from a private collection of François-Henri Duchevreuil in 1832, featuring archaeological remains, coins, rare books, and natural history specimens.
The upper level presents ethnographic and archaeological artifacts from Cotentin research, together with Egyptian antiques and objects from Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
The museum and its collections are temporarily closed for renovations, though visitors can still access the surrounding botanical garden and greenhouses.
The institution received a mummy in an Egyptian sarcophagus from Admiral Troude, which expert Jean-François Champollion authenticated for the collection.
