Senlis Spahis Museum, Military museum in Senlis, France.

The Spahis Museum in Senlis is a military museum dedicated to a French cavalry regiment composed primarily of North African soldiers. The collection displays uniforms, weapons, medals, and historical photographs that document the life and service of these mounted troops.

The museum opened in 1978 in the building raised by Raoul I of Vermandois, then moved to the chapel of chancellor Guérin in the former bishop's palace, which became the Senlis Museum of Art and Archaeology in 1983. Since 1991 it has occupied a house bought by the town at the entrance to the Royal Castle. Senlis was twice a garrison town for spahi regiments: the 4th Moroccan Spahis from 1928 to 1939, then the 7th Algerian Spahis from 1948 until its disbandment in 1962.

The collection grew from a 1993 agreement between the city of Senlis and the association Le Burnous, founded in 1895 and gathering former spahis, goumiers, méharistes and sahariens. A mannequin in the display wears a red jacket with black braided cords across the chest, a red sash from left shoulder to right hip, gold scroll embroidery on the cuffs and a blue belt with round brass buckles above dark blue trousers.

The museum is housed in a traditional building and can be visited in a short time since the collection is compact. The rooms are arranged closely together, so allow enough time to look at all the details of the displays.
