Fantastic little museum. €5.50 well spent to understand the historical significance of this city 80 years ago. Excellent 5 min film in English to set the scene. Walked through a number of small rooms of photos, documents and period uniforms before reaching the room in which the surrender was signed. Very moving, left as it was with maps and weather reports and daily operation plans on the walls.

Interesting small museum with the actual room where the surrender was signed. Unfortunately it is going to be closed for renovation from the evening of 11th May 2025 for up to a year.

Comment ne pas visiter ce musée en ayant fait 4 ans de lycée à Roosevelt ? J’étais surpris de voir la table sur laquelle a été signée la reddition ????
