About Resistance Museum
In Limoges, the Resistance Museum is devoted to one of the most heroic and painful chapters of French history: the struggle of the Resistance against the German occupation during the Second World War, in a region that was a stronghold of the maquis. Through documents, photographs, weapons, personal belongings and testimonies, the museum recounts the courage and sacrifice of ordinary men and women who risked everything to fight for the liberation of France, as well as the harsh repression they faced. It also remembers the victims of Nazi persecution in the region. Sober, moving and deeply educational, the Resistance Museum honours the memory of those who resisted and reflects on the values of freedom, courage and human dignity. An important place of memory in Limoges, it offers a meaningful and thought-provoking visit into a defining era of the 20th century.
