The Vernon Municipal Museum was founded in 1862 thanks to the donation of François de Brécourt’s collection of some 2,000 specimens of naturalized birds from Normandy and distant lands. Located in the town hall, the museum was named Alphonse-Georges-Poulain in 1966, after the archaeologist and curator who had taken care of the museum and its collections since 1922\. It moved in 1983 to this former mansion of the Lemoine family of Belle-Isle in the heart of the historic center of Vernon. Honouring the impressionist creation on the Seine at the gates of Eure and Normandy, from Claude Monet to Pierre Bonnard, the museum was renamed the Hoschedé-Monet White Museum in 2024\. You will discover an important collection of landscapes of the Val de Seine and the great natural sites of Normandy, signed by the artists of the famous Hoschedé-Monet-Butler family and American and foreign artists of the colony of Giverny. The museum is also distinguished by its unique collection of animal art, benefit

Conference: climate and biodiversity
Diversity is a fundamental property of the living world. It results from processes of adaptation of the characteristics of organisms to the environment and from various interactions between organisms. Organisms and the environment are complex ecosystems, whose sustainability depends on the level of biological diversity. This is in rapid decline and calls into question, with climate change in particular, the viability of our planet. However, biodiversity itself is a source of solutions, already available or to come. It is now leading to the design of innovative strategies for carbon sequestration, sustainable agriculture and adaptation of cities to climate change.Lecture given by Luc AbbadieE-mailmusee@vernon27.frPhone02 32 64 79 05
