Musée de l'Hospice Comtesse, Medieval museum in Old Town, Lille, France

The museum occupies a former hospital complex with buildings from different periods arranged around two courtyards and a medicinal garden.

Founded in 1237 by Countess Jeanne de Flanders as a hospital, the institution operated for over 700 years until 1939 before becoming a museum in 1962.

The museum displays Flemish art collections, including paintings, furniture, tapestries, and ceramics that represent the regional heritage from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Located at 32 Rue de la Monnaie, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Monday afternoons, with admission fees between 3 and 6 euros.

The museum preserves a complete reconstruction of the Augustinian sisters' living quarters, including their dormitory and a traditional Flemish kitchen with period-specific tiles.
