Historial Jeanne d'Arc
An immersive multimedia exhibition in the Archbishop's Palace that tells Joan of Arc's life story through the rehabilitation trial that cleared her name.
The Historial Jeanne d'Arc is housed in the Archbishop's Palace beside Rouen Cathedral. It was here that the 1456 trial clearing Joan of Arc's name took place. Using projections and a sound-and-light theater, the exhibition lets visitors follow the testimony of trial witnesses as they revisit her life, her trial and her legend. The full visit takes about 75 minutes, and multilingual audio guides are available. After the exhibition, you can climb to a corner of the building for views. Tickets are required, the museum is closed on Mondays, and booking a time slot in advance is recommended.
