The Maritime, Fluvial and Harbour Museum of Rouen ((フランス語:musée maritime fluvial et portuaire de Rouen)) is a museum dedicated to the history of the port of Rouen, which is one of the greatest ports of France. The museum opened in 1999, during the Rouen Armada, a festival of tall ships which takes place every five years. == The museum == The main themes are: * History of the port, with photos, and an exhibition space about the destruction caused by World War II * Infrastructure of the port and the measures needed to render the Seine navigable * Heritage of Rouen in the Age of Sail, with an exhibit on the ships which transported nickel from New Caledonia * The merchant navy, with numerous models of cargo ships, including some which formerly docked at or near Building 13, which now houses the museum * River navigation * Shipbuilding * Whale hunting, with a whale skeleton (see below) * The history of submarines, with a reproduction of the interior of Robert Fulton's ''Nautilus'' Visitors can see trawler and barge motors, a fog warning bell which was formerly located in the estuary of the Risle, surface-supplied diving gear and a reproduction of the radio cabin of a 1960s ship. The skeleton of a whale (on loan from the Natural History Museum of Rouen) is exhibited in the centre of the museum. It is a fin whale which was 7 years old when it died after grounding on a beach. A 38-metre barge, the ''Pompon Rouge'', is exhibited in the courtyard of the museum. Its hold has been transformed into an exhibition room about river navigation, including a model of a lock. In addition, there are regular temporary exhibitions on a variety of topics, such as the Rouen transporter bridge or the vikings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maritime, Fluvial and Harbour Museum of Rouen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
