Located within the Morvan Regional Nature Park Centre, the Resistance Museum provides an understanding of the role and importance of the Resistance in this region during the Second World War. Through its impressive collection, the museum brings history to life. A large number of items, archive documents, materials, photographs, weapons, and much more, are presented here in three different rooms. The first room examines the German occupation of the region and its consequences. The second is entirely dedicated to the Resistance, and the Maquis in particular. The final room of the museum focuses on the Liberation of the Morvan and how the Resistance is remembered. The Resistance Museum has recently joined the "Morvan Digital Gallery". Located at midpoint in the permanent exhibition, its portrait, "The Maquis of the Morvan," is an immersive projection space presenting daily life in the Maquis resistance groups. The Museum is run by the association "Morvan Terre de Résistances-ARORM".

This was our second visit to the museum and there was still so much to learn! The museum is geographically small but filled with wonderful records and artifacts of this time. The information on the audioguide is excellent (although none of our audios accepted numbers higher than 14). The photos and memorabilia give poignant and powerful testimony not only to the bravery of the maquis but also the people of the Morvan. Highly recommended and would be excellent for children from about 6 years and up. Great value.

4.5 based on 12 reviews
Situé en Bourgogne, sur les bords de Loire, le musée présente deux collections distinctes : le témoignage de nombreuses activités humaines liées à l’un des plus grands fleuves d’Europe, ainsi qu’une collection de peintures modernes. Ses collections sont présentées dans un cadre remarquable : l’ancien couvent des Augustins de la ville et son corps de garde attenant. Datant du XVIIe siècle, tous deux sont inscrits à l’inventaire des monuments historiques. Le musée de la Loire bénéficie de l’appellation « Musée de France » du Ministère de la Culture. Chaque année, le musée organise une à deux expositions temporaires autour de thématiques variées et de ses collections permanentes telles que la Loire, les beaux arts, l’art contemporain, l’histoire locale ou encore l’archéologie. Des conférences, des manifestations, des visites viennent ponctuer l'année. Des jeux, panneaux ou dispositifs interactifs permettent au plus grand nombre de découvrir les collections autrement.

9. Memorial de Dun-les-Places
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
The Dun-les-Places Memorial commemorates historic events and people who fell victim to Nazi barbarism. It tells the story of a martyred village and its inhabitants. The events took place over the course of three days, the 26, 27 and 28 June 1944. Three days which left a deep impression on Dun-les-Places. Three days during which the village was ransacked and burned, and 27 men were shot and killed. This interpretative centre is a place dedicated to remembrance. Along the indoor route, visitors make their way through three rooms, hearing accounts from survivors, bearing witness to the physical and psychological reconstruction required after an event of such terrible violence. The exhibition presents audiovisual pieces which provide a vehicle for recollection and emotion. Outdoors, the route through the village introduces visitors to sites steeped in history and memory.
