Musée de la Libération de Paris – musée du Général-Leclerc – musée Jean-Moulin, World War II museum at Place Denfert-Rochereau, Paris, France.
The Musée de la Libération de Paris is housed in a 19th century building and displays original documents, photographs, uniforms, and personal items that tell the story of Paris under occupation and its liberation. The exhibition spreads across multiple rooms with both everyday objects and official records from that era.
The museum opened in 2019 and focuses on the years between 1940 and 1944 when Paris was under German occupation. The institution was created to mark the 75th anniversary of the city's liberation with a more comprehensive presentation of the period.
The museum tells the story of the French Resistance through the personal experiences of fighters and their daily struggles against occupation. You see how ordinary people found courage and worked together during those years.
The museum is located right at Place Denfert-Rochereau and is easy to reach by metro from anywhere in the city. The building is accessible to most visitors and the layout guides you naturally through the exhibition.
Visitors can explore an underground command post that was actually used to coordinate operations during the war. One remarkable detail is a pedal-powered generator that provided electricity when other sources were not available.
