Among the articles devoted to the ecomuseums of the "Great West", all unique and unusual, here are the ecomuseums of Calvados.
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.

Caen (14) - Musée de Normandie
The Normandy Museum presents a panorama of the life of the populations throughout Normandy, from prehistory to the great migrations of the early Middle Ages, from the changes in rural areas to the first upheavals in industrial society.
From the first fires to the first monuments, from the Gauls to the Romans, from the Frankish kingdoms to the Saxon pirates... the great history of the formation of a territory precedes the more peaceful evocation of landscapes and habitats, crafts and techniques, costumes and customs... The Museum provides an opportunity to see and understand, over time, everyday objects and practices such as masterpieces of popular arts and traditions.
