Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle

Natural history in a rare surviving pre-war building

Address Place du Vieux-Marché, 76600 Le Havre

A handsome natural history museum in the old town hall (one of the few pre-war buildings to survive the bombing), with collections covering regional geology, marine life of the Channel, and natural history of Normandy. More interesting than it sounds — the whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling is a draw for children and adults alike. Closed Tuesdays.
