Musée de Vire Normandie

Musée de Vire Normandie, Art museum in Vire Normandie, France

The Musée de Vire Normandie occupies an eighteenth-century building that once served as a hospital, showcasing multimedia displays, models, and interactive exhibits about the region's past. The collection covers different aspects of local life and how the Normandy area developed over time.

The museum was founded in the 1860s and originally occupied the Town Hall before war destruction forced it to relocate to its present building. The new location allowed the collection to be reorganized and expanded.

The museum's name comes from Vire, the town where it was founded in 1866. Its galleries present butter, andouille sausage and apple production alongside a costume gallery and tableware from the Middle Ages to Guy Degrenne (1925–2006). Temporary exhibitions have been held each year since 2007, from April to November.

The museum occupies the first floor of the eighteenth-century Hôtel-Dieu, entered from the courtyard side under a porch with two granite pilasters. The building stands in central Vire Normandie, and the granite and slate facades have been listed as a Monument Historique since 1975. Temporary exhibitions run from April to November.

The costume gallery is one stop on a permanent route that runs from Prehistory to the post-1944 Reconstruction, with over 500 objects on display. The same route ends with butter, andouille sausage and apple production, and with tableware from the Middle Ages to Guy Degrenne (1925-2006).
