A museum with torture cells and rooms in the basement, considered a place of remembrance for families to discover.

This recently renovated museum aims to make the history of the Second World War accessible to as many people as possible. Housed in a building that between 1943 and 1944 housed the sinister Gestapo and Klaus Barbie, it traces the history of the Resistance and deportation in a local context, through objects and, above all, precious eyewitness accounts. An essential visit, especially for the younger generation, to ensure that the horrors of war are never forgotten.

Exposition très bien construite. A faire sans faute.

Despite the historic significance and the dramas behind the topic, this is a very poorly organized museum. A mere collection of pictures with a very bad cadenced audio guides.

Une visite guide très intéressante, merci ! :)

This is a really interesting centre. The material is presented and interpreted in depth and detail. Translation guides in print and audio are available. There is a purposed balance struck between the presentation of historical documents, photos and objects and the terror overseen by Klaus Barbie. The visual documentary of his trial and the testimony of those affected is impactful and necessarily a difficult watch.
