Vignacourt 14-18

During the Great War, Vignacourt was used for French and Allied logistics. Louis and Antoinette Thuillier began taking photographs of the soldiers of different nationalities. 4000 photographic plates were discovered. Vignacourt 14-18 welcomes you to the Thuillier's renovated farmhouse which is devoted to their photograph collection. This exhibition tells the story behind the lines.

Staying locally and looking to visit WW1 sites. Found this "new" museum by accident.. We were the only visitors a the time and the curator, gave us her time telling about the couple who took the photographs of the soldiers on display, and how the collection remained undiscovered for decades. Turned out she was directly related to the family. The displays of photographs are magnificent, and they have managed to trace some of the soldiers in the photographs giving you that sense of connection with the past. The interactive displays are brillant. If you are in the area, go and visit, you will find it truely moving.

Great opportunity to visit a rich mans house and see it as it may have been aoo years ago. Add to that an excellent insight into the life of Jules Verne and it is a must see in Amiens. Staff were helpful lending an English guide book to the house and exhibits.

Franco-Australian Museum

Located on the first floor of the Victoria school (rebuilt after the Great War thanks to donations by the schools in the state of Victoria, Australia). Your visit will take you through four sections of memory (A place of memory and commemoration, Memories of War, A National Memory and Town Memories) helping you to fully comprehend the tight bond Villers-Bretonneux has with Australia since WW1.

A visit to the Franco-Australian Museum is a very moving experience, as we discovered. First, the sign outside the Victoria School, where the museum is located, is a powerful reminder of the bond between the locals and France in general, and the Australians who participated in the battle to hold off the Germans in WWI, defending the village of Villers-Bretonneux, in 1918. The sign says Do Not Forget Australia. The Victoria School was established in 1927, as a gift from the schoolchildren of the Australian state of Victoria. The Museum has some amazing exhibits recovered from the battlefields nearby and donated to it by individuals and others. It is a very small museum but its significance is huge, especially if the visitor is Australian.

Tells the story of the Somme battles as well as a history of the Western front in World War 1. Plenty of interesting artifacts, and an interesting mural on the walls outlining the 1916 battle.
