Musée de la Résistance en Morvan

The Museum de la Résistance en Morvan is a museum in Saint-Brisson that documents the struggle against occupation during World War II. It features exhibitions with documents, personal items, and information about the fighters who operated in the forests of this region.

The museum was established in 1983 to preserve the memory of local resistance fighters who worked against German occupation in this forested region. This founding was part of a broader effort to keep the stories of that time from being forgotten.

The place tells the story of people who resisted in this region and shaped local identity. Visitors can understand how the resistance in the Morvan forests became part of community life.

The museum is located within the regional nature park of Morvan and is easily reached via local roads. Plan time for an unhurried visit to carefully read the exhibitions and explore the different sections.

The museum uses the forest setting as part of its presentation, linking the physical landscape to the stories of the resistance fighters. This connection between place and history makes understanding those events particularly vivid.
