Maison de la dernière cartouche, Military museum in Bazeilles, France
The museum displays collections of military artifacts, including weapons, uniforms, photographs, and documents related to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
The building earned its name when Captain Aubert fired the last cartridge during the Battle of Bazeilles on September 1, 1870, marking French resistance.
The museum features the notable painting 'Les Dernières Cartouches' by Alphonse de Neuville from 1873, depicting the soldiers' final moments.
Located near the military ossuary, the museum welcomes visitors throughout the year with guided tours available for groups upon reservation.
The museum contains fourteen alcoves housing remains of both French and German soldiers who died during the battle of Bazeilles.
