Musée de la Coutellerie de Nogent, Cutlery museum in Nogent, Haute-Marne, France

The Musée de la Coutellerie de Nogent is a museum in France dedicated to the history and craft of cutlery making. The collection holds more than 8,000 objects spanning different categories such as folding knives, table cutlery, scissors, tools, and medical instruments.

Cutlery making in Nogent began in the 17th century when craftsmen moved there from a nearby city due to trade restrictions. The museum itself was established in 1991 and preserves this long craft tradition.

The museum occupies the former Maison Georget, a cutlery wholesaler founded in 1725 as Maison Thévenot, which put out work to cutlers labouring at home. Its limestone facade with pilasters and triangular pediments still shows the firm's wealth. The name Nogent covers cutlery made within about 20 km of the town, across some forty villages each specialising in particular products.

The museum occupies the former Georget cutlery house on Place Charles de Gaulle, in a stone facade with triangular pediments; the entrance is the glass wing marked MUSEE on the right. It holds the Tourisme et Handicap label for motor, mental and visual disabilities. The collection of over 8,000 objects is arranged in seven cutlery categories, so plan the visit by category.

The museum opened in 1991 in the former Georget cutlery house, a wholesale firm founded in 1725 as Maison Thévenot. In 1940 the German Kommandantur made it its headquarters, forcing the Georget family into exile in Denicé in the Rhône. After the war it became a hotel in 1954, then a home for young workers in 1966.
