Musée de l'Histoire vivante, Social history museum in Montreuil, France.

The Museum of Living History occupies a 19th century building within Montreau Park, displaying collections about labor movements and social struggles.

Founded in 1937 by Communist politicians, the museum opened in 1939 during the 150th anniversary celebration of the French Revolution.

The institution holds extensive archives spanning from the French Revolution to the 1960s, including documents from prominent French Communist Party activists.

The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Friday between 2 PM and 5 PM, and on weekends from 2 PM to 5:30 PM, with annual closure in August.

A dedicated room showcases materials about Ho Chi Minh and his anti-colonial activities, reflecting the museum's focus on resistance movements.
