for friends

This museum, devoted to the First World War, is an absolute must. See the Great War from all angles: both through the visions of the three main combatant nations (France, Germany, United Kingdom), and as you find out about the day-to-day life of soldiers and civilians. Ideal before exploring the Somme battlefields.

for a romantic break

Couples are sure to recognise the architectural quality of this museum with its combination of medieval heritage and Ciriani's ultra-modern design. The large, light and airy rooms, state-of-the art museography and the richness of its collections all make for a fascinating lesson in living history. The Historial has recently been equipped with multi-media tools, touch screens and has opened some new display rooms (!) - innovations that more than justify a visit (or revisit) to this museum.
