Museum of Resistance in Limoges, History museum in Limoges, France
The Museum of Resistance in Limoges is housed in a former convent building and displays exhibits about local resistance movements during World War II. The exhibition spans several rooms and presents documents, personal objects, and firsthand accounts from that period.
The building itself dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and was originally a women's convent. After World War II, it was transformed to preserve and share the history of the resistance movement in the region.
The collection displays personal objects and testimonies from people who joined the resistance during World War II. These items and stories offer visitors a direct sense of the choices and experiences of that time.

The museum's archive center holds an extensive collection of original documents and research materials about regional resistance movements. This collection is open to researchers and interested visitors, offering deeper insights into lesser-known aspects of local history.
