Musée départemental de la Résistance du Vercors, World War II Resistance Museum in Vassieux-en-Vercors, France.

The museum presents an extensive collection of wartime artifacts, multimedia displays, and interactive exhibits documenting the local resistance movement against Nazi occupation.

The museum commemorates the events of summer 1944 when the Vercors region served as a liberated zone until facing the largest reprisal operation against resistance forces in Europe.

The permanent exhibition follows three main themes: pre-war Vercors until 1942, resistance operations from 1942 to 1944, and post-war reconstruction efforts.

The museum remains closed for renovations until December 20, 2024, after which visitors can access the facility daily from 10 AM to 6 PM between April and August.

The museum features an escape game where participants must locate a resistance camp and retrieve a parachute drop within a specified time limit.
