Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After spending a little time in the square, people watching, and doing some gift shopping. We went to a lovely art museum, Musee d'art Thomas-Henry. It is not far from the central square of the town and can easily be overlooked if not following the signs. Its collection is not huge, but is very good with a wide range of art. It is accessed via lift, and is therefore wheelchair accessible (the lift is fairly small however). There was also an outdoor exhibit and a small gift shop.

Very well located museum, in the heart of the city, just behind the famous theater. Completely renovated: modern rooms, fluid route on two levels. Very rich collection, well presented. Exciting Millet Room. Very calm atmosphere, comfortable equipment and very friendly welcome.

This is such an unassuming museum from the outside. Located within the library building. It is beautifully laid out. The standard of the collection is wonderful and we really enjoyed our visit. Two floors accessible to all with lift. Well worth a visit.

This art gallery was free when we visited. The staff were welcoming. The permanent exhibition features local artists, but there may also be a temporary exhibition to enjoy

The Musée Thomas Henry is not on Quai Napoléon. It is now part of the Qasar complex about half a mile away. The official address is Esplanade de la Laïcité but I couldn't find that on a map. However just go to the Rue Vastel and you'll find it.
After struggling to find exactly where it was my visit was a delight. There are some fine paintings from the Renaissance up to the 20th century. An exhibition of the paintings of local artist (Valognes born) Félix Buhot was showing when I was there.

If you have the time when visiting Cherbourg this art gallery is well worth a visit. It was founded to display the (originally anonymous) donations from Thomas Henry and has grown over the years. An understated jewel!

This difficult to find museum shares a building with the main library. It is modern and has many good exhibits. The paintings cover a wide range of genres and there are some excellent sculptures. The entrance fee of 5 euros seems expensive at first but once you get to the second floor the gallery is very large. The galleries are well laid out and explanations are clear both in English and French. Not all the paintings are translated into English, but they are still worth viewing. Some of the marine art is exceptional. Sadly the most modern exhibit, Cherbourg today, is not translated.

Small but very interesting art museum, with a much better quality of pictures than you would expect, thanks to a donation from a native of Cherbourg who went on to become an art dealer in Paris.
