Musee historique et archeologique de l'Orleanais, Orleans

A small museum about some ancient findings og gallo roman period in the 2. floor and stone collection of "shoo signs" and porcelain in the 1. floor. Also and maybe most interesting is the exebition about ships and trade along the Loire river. It has some nice ship models to see. Entrance fee is aroung 6 Euro and you can use the tickets at 3 other museums. So good to keep the ticket! A visit takes about 1 hour. Descriptions are in French, but you can take translation handouts in every room. The stuff is helpful and friendly.

It was amazing!!! The pictures and sculptures and artefacts and what not... They have a few rooms that show how the Dukes used to live and some of the rooms are really well decorated. It's funnily organised though and that's why I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5. It's best to just follow the numbers marked cause otherwise you're gonna miss out on a few rooms. The easiest way to get the aerial view of the Dukes Tombs is to ask for directions from one of the staff cause it's a small staircase hidden in some random corner.

We took a trip to visit the city and decided to check out some of the museums. This is a very nice museum with things that you might find in the Louvre. The staff was friendly and they also have student discounts which is very helpful. If you're looking for some place to stop and see then you should come here

Not s lot to see. But it was inexpensive so worth an hour or so....

I understand much had been destroyed during the war, but the collection is still too few for such an important city in French history…
