Nicolas Poussin Museum, Les Andelys

The Nicolas Poussin Museum is a certified 'Musée de France' housed in an elegant 18th-century bourgeois mansion in the heart of Les Andelys, birthplace of the renowned 17th-century classical painter Nicolas Poussin. The museum's star attraction is Poussin's masterpiece 'Coriolan supplié par sa famille' (Coriolanus Entreated by His Family), a dramatic 1652 oil painting depicting the Roman general being pleaded with by his mother and wife. Beyond fine arts, the collection spans decorative arts, archaeology from prehistoric to Roman periods, and industrial history including exquisite Holophane glassware from local 1930s-1940s production.
