Currently in Rouen and went to the museum to find it closed 'due to fire damage', with a 'For Sale (à vendre)' sign on the doors.

It's a small museum that looks a little dodgy from the outside. We were concerned that it was more off a tourist trap than authentic musee, but once we went it, it was worth the money. It has displays of memorabilia, models of towns and wax exhibits with audio ccommentary. But the end of your visit (less than one hour)... More

Small out gift shop at the entrance opens out back downstairs to longer rooms, hallways and cellar which contains some intriguing historic pieces. There is a wax exhibit representing stages of her life, commentary is in 4 languages. The exhibit shows scenes from her birth to being burned at the stake. Worth a visit if you don't know anything about... More

we visited this museum in july 2012 with our two children 6 and almost three. The museum is at the back of a little gift shop across the road from the church dedicated to Joan. Our children had not herd the story of Joan and so really enjoyed pressing the buttons and listening to the story (available in English french... More

What a shame as such an interesting topic so poorly represented. Wax dummies in strange positions whilst a voice over tells the storey. It's pretty bad.

This small museum has an entrance that is also a gift shop and has a downtrodden appearance to start with. However, once inside you see a couple of scenes of Joan of Arc and then go down to the basement which has pictures and various artefacts relating to her. At the end of this there is a model of her...

On first glance this seems like the worst sort of wax museum. But it actually contains some of the best remaining items related to Joan of Arc as well as newer posters and other items that have become familiar in theatre, films, and novels. There is a copy of the trial transcript as well as coins and other material from... More
