Fabrique des Savoirs - Réunion des Musées Métropolitains (RMM)
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming town of Elbeuf, just a short hop from Rouen, this place is a real surprise. It's not your typical quiet museum; it's housed in a repurposed textile factory that absolutely buzzes with local history and industry. You can practically feel the hum of the old looms as you explore everything from ancient archaeology to fascinating natural science displays. It’s the kind of spot where you keep turning a corner and finding something new and unexpected.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is definitely the massive wool-spinning machine they've preserved right in the main hall—it's incredible to see up close. Don't miss the beautifully curated exhibits on the area's textile heritage or the quirky collection of regional fauna.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find at 7 Cours Gambetta in Elbeuf, and entry is free, which feels like a fantastic bonus. Definitely check their website for current opening times before you go, as they can vary.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is this wonderful, imposing red-brick former industrial mill, full of character and giant windows that flood the spaces with light.
