MUSEUM OF LILLE'S GUNNERS

Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the museum is closed.

Installed in the former Urbanist convent, this museum presents a large number of documents, objects and equipment related to the Sainte Barbe Brotherhood and Lille's city defences. 3000 objects are on display: rifles from 1777 to 1945, knives and two exceptional cannons, the famous Gribeauval cannons that Napoleon Bonaparte offered to the canonneers.

The museum is open on Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
