Entre amis

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.

En amoureux

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.

We set out to show what life was like during the First World War. New rooms have recently opened with multi-media tools and touch screens. The museum team dedicates all its time and efforts to this place of Remembrance.
