Discover the Franco-Prussian war ( century), the Annexation of Alsace-Moselle until 1918. French-German collections

Come and discover a little-known period in history, thanks to an aesthetic and educational museography and numerous French and German military collections. Labelled a "Musée de France", this history museum is the only one in Europe today devoted entirely to the 1870 war and the Annexation of "Alsace-Moselle" (1871-1918). Comprising 600 objects, the permanent exhibition features French and German military collections, as well as paintings, sculptures, press clippings, audiovisual documents, everyday objects and objects that belonged to historical figures. Fragments of the famous panorama of Rezonville painted by Édouard Detaille and Alphonse de Neuville in 1883 are also on display in a special room. The exhibition is both chronological and thematic. The conflict theme includes historical painting, as well as information on care for the wounded and prisoners of war. There are also displays dedicated to the international press, caricature and photography, as well as some very interesting testimonials from combatants, and a large number of archives and audiovisual documents. Opposite the museum, the Halle du Souvenir is the most important monument dedicated to the 1870 war. We highly recommend a visit!

Les moyens sont là et les collections sont riches, cependant les interactions auditives des présentations sur ecrans sont nombreuses et rendent les très (trop) nombreuses lectures difficiles et lassantes. Des audio guides rendraient la visite plus sympathique.

Musée très instructif, on apprend une facette de l'histoire que l'on ne connaît pas forcément, tout est mis en valeur pour notre plus grand plaisir

Amazingly detailed and thorough, a day in that museum will teach you (pretty much) everything that is to know about that period!

Beau musée qui permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux de la guerre de 1870 la perte de l´Alsace et de la Moselle, la misère des soldats... beaux uniformes et armes avec des panneaux et écrans en trois langues.
