Thomas Henry Museum

The Thomas Henry Museum is an exhibition hall at Cherbourg with around 300 fine arts, essentially works of art from the 15th to 19th hundreds of years. It has been evaluated as the 3rd most vital gathering in Normandy. It was shaped after a progression of mysterious gifts to the city somewhere in the range of 1831 and 1835, totalling 163 works of art and later uncovered to have been made by Thomas Henry, town councilor and workmanship critic-having lost his two children, he needed to permit the city's youngsters to pick up instruction in craftsmanship. These youngsters included Jean-Francois Millet, who replicated depictions in the museum.

In 1835, an exhibition hall was shaped from these 163 paintings, including works by Italian natives, for example, Fra Angelico The Conversion of Saint Augustine and Filippo Lippi. The essential gathering was finished by blessings from different occupants of Cherbourg, including capitaine Troude 1844, Armand Le Veel and the Ono family. At first housed in the Hotel de ville, the exhibition hall re-opened in a dedicated social focus in 1983, alongside the bibliotheque municipale Jacques-Prevert, on the site of the city's previous grain Halles.
