The Blanche Hoschedé-Monet Museum is a municipal museum located in Vernon in Eure, Normandy, founded in 1862 from the donation of François de Brécourt's collection. Located since 1983 in a former private mansion in the historic center, it was renamed in 2024 in tribute to the Hoschedé-Monet family, after having borne the name of Alphonse-Georges-Poulain, archaeologist and curator of the museum. The museum highlights Impressionist creation on the Seine, with an important collection of landscapes of the Seine Valley and Norman natural sites signed by artists of the Hoschedé-Monet-Butler family as well as by American and foreign artists from the Giverny colony. It is distinguished by a unique collection of animal art comprising prestigious deposits from the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, with works by Rembrandt Bugatti, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Paul Jouve and François Pompon, illustrating the artistic and scientific history of the conservation of natural heritage. The museum regularly hosts contemporary artists in dialogue with its collections oriented toward representations of nature.
