Elbeuf museum, Cultural heritage museum in Elbeuf, France.
The Elbeuf Museum sits inside a converted textile factory and displays collections spanning natural sciences, archaeology, and regional industrial heritage. The exhibitions occupy multiple floors with distinct thematic sections throughout the building.
The museum began in 1884 with a taxidermy collection and expanded its holdings over decades. It moved to the former Blin and Blin textile factory in 2010 as part of a larger cultural and educational complex.
The museum reflects how textile manufacturing shaped the identity and work of people in this area for generations. Walking through its spaces, you see the tools and products that defined daily life for factory workers and their families.
The museum opens its permanent collections to visitors at no charge from Tuesday through Sunday in the afternoon. Audio guides available in French and English can enhance your visit and provide deeper context for the displays.
The museum holds a distinctive collection of religious vestments from Saint-Jean Church spanning several centuries of local history. These sacred textiles reveal craftsmanship and artistic details that reflect the skill of makers from different periods.
