Musée Eugène Boudin
A museum dedicated to Honfleur-born painter Eugène Boudin, displaying his seascapes and paintings of the Normandy coast.
Eugène Boudin was born in Honfleur and was a pioneer of painting skies and beaches outdoors. The young Monet began painting en plein air under his guidance, which is why Boudin is often called “the forerunner of Impressionism.” The museum was founded by Boudin and local artists. It holds Boudin's oil paintings and drawings, along with works by Monet, Dufy and Courbet that depict Honfleur and the Normandy coast. There is also a gallery of traditional Normandy costumes. Tickets cost about €10. The museum is usually closed on Tuesdays and has shorter opening hours in winter.
