At the heart of the old town, the outbuildings of the old episcopal palace, turned into a prison during the French revolution, nowadays are the home of the collections of the Town Museum. Brought back to life in 1952 under the initiative of a local artist, Albert Bergevin, this museum lets you discover the richness of the heritage of the area of Avranches, from the Middle Ages to recent times. Amidst paintings and sculptures of local interest, art collections and popular traditions are presented, with costumes and headdresses from the area of Avranches, Norman interior and craftsmen's workshops.
