Museet är gratis för alla under 26 år och den första söndagen i varje månad. Det är stängt på tisdagar från januari till maj och från november till december och på alla större nationella helgdagar. Det bör också noteras att många webbsajter förväxlar detta museum med Caen Memorial, som också har ett museum.
Normandy Museum is located within the castle of William the Conquerer on Le Château in Caen. Take bus line A or B to Quatrans or Bellivet stops, or tram line T1 or T3 to the Château-Quatrans stop. If you are driving, there is parking for a fee at the foot of the castle. Parking reserved for people with reduced mobility is by the entrance facing the University. A train ride from Paris takes about 2 hours.
The museum is open daily from morning to evening, however, it is closed on Tuesdays from January through May and from November through December. Peak season for Caen, as well as the entire region of Normandy, is during the summer months. June especially sees many travelers who come to commemorate the anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Complement your deep dive into art with a visit to this outstanding museum, also located within the castle of William the Conqueror. The Musée des Beaux-Arts is home to one of the finest art collections in France, covering five centuries in total including a notable collection of 16th-century European painters and a peaceful outdoor sculpture park.
