Musée 39-45, World War II museum in Ambleteuse, France.
Musée 39-45 is a World War II museum in Ambleteuse occupying 800 square meters with thousands of authentic artifacts and 120 fully equipped soldier mannequins arranged in different scenes. The exhibition also features original military vehicles and equipment organized in detailed dioramas depicting key wartime events.
The museum was founded by two collectors, Denis Barbe and Christophe Deschodt, who spent over 40 years gathering wartime objects. The collection focuses on the period from 1939 to 1945 and preserves the history of this era.
The museum portrays civilian daily life during the war through photographs and personal belongings from that era. Visitors can watch documentaries in a cinema styled like the 1940s and gain a sense of how people lived back then.
The museum is located on Rue des Garennes and opens daily from February through November 11th. Allow plenty of time to explore the extensive collection thoroughly.
The museum houses a remarkable collection of original vehicles and weapons rarely seen in other collections. These pieces are presented in elaborate scenes that bring individual moments of the war to life.
