Captivated!
Barely entered the first rooms of the War and Peace Museum, the children are caught up in the superb dioramas representing the 1870 battlefield at Sedan. Around them, the impressive collection of rifles continues to captivate them. Perfect. This gives me time to immerse myself in the story posted on the walls and discover the many objects that illustrate this period of history. The journey begins in 1852 and will lead us, after three successive wars, until 1945, to the Liberation, on the way to peace.
5000 m², 14 objects, more than 000 uniforms….
The figures make you dizzy, and yet, once in this huge museum, everything becomes clear and we are transported.
The immersive museography and original interpretation devices bring history to life and help to understand it: a 14-section trench, a wall of bullets, an archaeological dig, audiovisual projections...
A multiple exploration
The lives of civilians, innovations are valued by quantity of everyday objects. From very detailed models to impressive heavy equipment, the exploration is multiple. For the sake of education for peace and citizenship, History is offered to all by reading in large and small. A visit that calls for another.
