Maritime, Fluvial and Harbor Museum of Rouen, Maritime museum in Rouen, France.
The museum occupies a former port warehouse on the Seine riverbank, displaying maritime artifacts, ship models, and navigation equipment across multiple exhibition halls.
This cultural institution opened in 1999 during the Rouen Armada festival, establishing itself in a former wine storage hangar from North Africa trade routes.
The museum presents the evolution of maritime professions through exhibits of diving equipment, radio cabins, and merchant navy vessels that shaped Rouen's port identity.
Located at Quai Emile Duchemin, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday with different schedules, offering guided tours for groups upon reservation.
A 38-meter barge named Pompon Rouge in the museum courtyard functions as an additional exhibition space dedicated to river navigation systems.
