Om museet
The museum is housed in the Institut Villien, a Louis XIII-style mansion built in 1869, bequeathed to the town by Colonel Villien and shared with the municipal library. It belongs to the Société archéologique et historique de l'arrondissement d'Avesnes, which has been based there since 1870.
The collections began to be assembled as early as 1851 from objects found in regional excavations (Bavay, Ferrière, Saint-Hilaire, Fuchau). They come mainly from donations by members of the society and from purchases.
The museum holds a collection belonging to the Egyptologist and orientalist Prisse d'Avesnes, a local collection on the Avesnois, Gallo-Roman, Merovingian and medieval archaeological collections, 15th- and 16th-century sculptures, illuminated manuscripts from the Abbey of Liessies, folk arts, and mineralogical and paleontological collections. An extension is planned to display all the holdings.
