Historial Jeanne d'Arc

Housed in the historic Archbishop's Palace of Rouen, the Historial Jeanne d'Arc is a modern, immersive museum that tells the story of Joan of Arc from her trial to her canonization. Unlike traditional museums, it uses a combination of multimedia projections, soundscapes, and interactive exhibits to transport visitors into the 15th century. The experience begins in the actual courtroom where Joan was interrogated in 1431, then moves through a series of themed rooms that explore her life, the political context, and her enduring myth. The museum is designed to be accessible and engaging for all ages, with English and French audio guides included. Visitors can also explore the palace's Gothic architecture, including the grand hall and chapel. The Historial is a must for anyone wanting to understand the complexity of Joan's story beyond the simple narrative of martyrdom.
