Deux heures d'immersion : un régal !
Ps.Le musée pourrait installer dans sa vitrine un écran géant plat numérique dévoilant à la fois le bâtiment (=l'ancien palais épiscopal toujours aussi majestueux ) et ses contenus (différents focus dont la porcelaine de Bayeux ) pour donner envie aux touristes et aux locaux de franchir le seuil du musée Baron Gérard qui mérite une attention particulière .
