Maison des enfants de l'Assistance publique et des nourrices, Social history museum in Alligny-en-Morvan, France.

The Maison des Enfants de l'Assistance publique et des Nourrices occupies the former Hôtel de la Poste in Alligny-en-Morvan, a long white building with a steep grey metal roof, a tall gable and a dark grey projecting volume with a band of windows. Inside, a 250 m² exhibition laid out like a village street with successive small houses traces the history of the Assistance publique children and their wet nurses.

From the late 18th century, Morvan women were hired as wet nurses for the Parisian upper bourgeoisie and for princely courts across Europe, and the region took in tens of thousands of Assistance publique children, mostly Parisians known as "Petits Paris", until the 1960s. The museum opened in 2016 in the village's former Hôtel de la Poste, as the seventh themed house of the Écomusée du Morvan.

The exhibition follows the two paths of Morvan wet nursing: women who stayed in the region ("sur place") and those who went to town ("sur lieu") to serve wealthy families. It also traces the "Petits Paris", Assistance publique children placed with Morvan families until the 1960s. The association Les Amis de la Maison des Enfants de l'Assistance publique et des Nourrices du Morvan, founded in 2007, collects testimonies and helps visitors with genealogical research.

The museum occupies the former village post office in Alligny-en-Morvan, with the exhibition laid out over 250 m² as a succession of small village-style houses. The route is self-guided, so visitors move at their own pace, and a resource centre, café and three guest rooms are on site.

The museum opened in 2016 as the seventh themed house of the Écomusée du Morvan, in the village's former Hôtel de la Poste. Its 250 m² exhibition crosses historical, sociological and memorial viewpoints, and the resource centre is being built up with the association Les Amis de la Maison des Enfants de l'Assistance publique et des Nourrices du Morvan, founded in 2007.
