The Knowledge Factory

La Fabrique des savoirs is a multidisciplinary cultural center located in Elbeuf, a town not far from Rouen. It is located inside a former factory, testimony to the industrial importance that the city of Elbeuf had in the past. Inside it houses a museum, an archive, the CIAP (center of interpretation of architecture and heritage). Inaugurated in 1884, the museum is divided into three major thematic sections: natural sciences, archeology and industrial heritage. Overall, the museum collection preserves more than 45,000 objects, including machines, archeology objects, stuffed animals, paintings or ancient textiles. This diversity allows the museum to present the Elbeuf territory from different points of view, above all environmental, historical and archaeological. The Senna, a real leitmotif, acts as a link between the different types of collections. The museum is divided into two levels: in the first it is possible to find the history of the collections and sciences in Elbeuf and the history of the city and the territory, while in the second it is possible to trace the local natural environments, observe the archaeological finds, trace the history and the development of the Elbeuf textile industry.
