Historial de la Vendée, Modern history museum in Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne, France.

The Historial de la Vendée is a modern museum housed in a building with a grass-covered roof that blends with the surrounding landscape. Inside, artifacts, documents, and interactive displays across several floors cover different time periods from prehistoric times to the present day.

The first stone was laid on 22 September 2003, and the museum opened on 26 June 2006 after three years of construction. Its programme and museography were devised by Christophe Vital, drawing on North American and Canadian museum models, under Philippe de Villiers, president of the Vendée general council from 1988 to 2010. It later received the Musée de France label, and its collections absorbed those of the former Puy du Fou ecomuseum.

The museum displays how people in the Vendée lived across different eras, from their daily tools and homes to their crafts and farming methods. You can see how their lives changed with each period and which traditions still matter today.

The museum occupies about 3,000 m² across ten rooms grouped into seven spaces, so allow time to move through the seven periods in order. School visits and educational workshops are run by the École Départementale des Arts et du Patrimoine, and lectures and study days are held through the year. The building stands near the Mémorial de la Vendée in the Boulogne valley at Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne.

The roof of the museum is fully covered with grass and insulated to maintain a constant temperature for preserving the collections. This roof design blends so naturally with the surroundings that some visitors do not realize they are entering a building.
