The Ecomuseum of the Eure

Among the articles devoted to the ecomuseums of the "Great West", all unique and unusual, here is the ecomuseum of the Eure.

 

Ecomuseums, or the sharing of human memory

Ecomuseums were experimented with in 1968 in National Parks, before becoming a national and international phenomenon. There are about 300 of them in the world, 200 of them in Europe. They carry out research, presentation, conservation and enhancement actions of properties, activities, trades and know-how, which form the tangible and intangible heritage of a region or a population. 

As a result, each of them is rich in its own unique and unusual particularities.

The « Grand Ouest Insolite », therefore, presents them.

Department by department, you will find the list of ecomuseums, addresses, useful links, and a small description taken from their websites, or documents dedicated to them. 

If you want to discover them all, type "eco-museums" in the small search tool at the top of each page, to the right of the « Grand Ouest Insolite » logo.
