Musée de la Villa Montebello, Art museum in Trouville-sur-Mer, France

The Musée de la Villa Montebello is an art museum housed in a 19th-century coastal building in Normandy. The collection presents paintings, posters, lithographs, drawings, manuscripts, objects, and period clothing that document life from that era.

Marie Augustine Mathilde Périer, widow of Count Alfred Lannes de Montebello, bought 4,300 m² of land with sea access in 1863 and had the villa built in 1865 by architect Louis Jean Celinski de Zaremba. After her death in 1877 the heirs used it only occasionally; sequestered in 1915, it was sold at auction in 1921. The town acquired it in 1939, and the first museum rooms opened on the ground floor in 1972.

The villa takes its name from Marie Augustine Mathilde Perier, widow of Alfred Lannes, Count of Montebello and son of Marshal Lannes. She bought 4,300 m² of open land with sea access in 1863 and had the villa built in 1865. The museum opened in its ground floor in 1972.

The museum occupies the ground floor of the villa, while the upper floors were long used as teachers' housing. The building stands on the beach and dominates the Seine bay, so it is easy to spot from the seafront. The exterior was not altered by the concrete radio shelter added during the German occupation.

During the German occupation, the villa was requisitioned as a tactical shelter for radars and housed a central firing post for the artillery batteries of Hennequeville; a concrete slab over one metre thick was poured into the ground floor to protect a radio transmitter, while the exterior was left untouched. Bombed twice by the Allies, it survived without irreparable damage.
