Very limited hours - 
WOW, only open for 3 hours, one Sunday a month, from March to October! I wonder if it's someones private collection?
About 245 km (3 hours) Northeast of Paris.
Looks like a bunch of neat stuff though! | ||

France like many other parts of Europe
Has a good number of these "museums" that are basically personal collections displayed as part of someone's home or similar property. As such they are usually run more as a cross between a hobby and effort to share information. That is they are a sideline to whatever else the owner's do for a living. Do not know if an receive some sort of government funding or tax break.
OldeWash here in the States would be an example. A person or persons with a passion they want to share with the world. Here is another similar "linge" museum, this time in Rhone: www.rhonetourisme.com/handitouris... Sunday is actually a big museum day in France with many places offering free admission the first such day of each month. It is also a good reason if possible to avoid any of the more popular places on weekends. *LOL* www.grehc.fr/Les-collections.html... | ||
