Musée des ivoires d'Yvetot, Ivory art museum in Yvetot, France.

The museum contains a collection of over 200 ivory pieces, including decorative artifacts, religious objects, tobacco graters, crucifixes, and page-turners.

Louis Féron donated the initial ivory collection to the museum in 1929, and the institution received the musée de France designation in February 2003.

The exhibition includes triptychs depicting religious scenes and historical events, such as King Henry IV granting Regency to Marie de Medicis.

The museum will undergo renovations until 2025, with a special reopening from June 11 to September 22, 2024, featuring Charles Angrand's painting Les Villottes.

The museum plans to implement a new exhibition layout organized around three themes: Figure, Landscape, and Usage, with interactive displays.
