Musée Vignacourt 14-18, History museum in Vignacourt, France
The museum occupies a restored farm building and displays an extensive collection of World War I photographs taken by Louis and Antoinette Thuillier.
Between 1916 and 1918, the Thuillier family photographed over 4,000 soldiers and civilians using glass plate cameras in their farm's improvised studio.
The museum maintains the Jardin des Célestes garden, featuring portraits by artist Wen Wenwu that commemorate Chinese workers present during World War I.
The museum operates from April to October, Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, and weekends from 14:00 to 18:00, with reduced hours in winter.
The entire photograph collection remained undiscovered in the farm's attic for almost 100 years before becoming a significant historical documentation resource.
