Description

Telling history in a different way... The Jean Garcin History Museum focuses on the years 1939-1945. Beyond the brilliant work of memory, this museographic project questions these long years of occupation. A multidisciplinary approach orchestrates the voices of painters, writers and poets, compiles archives, documents and objects. A poignant account of daily life, the tour brings together testimonies, ideas and ideals. Between courage, commitment, protest and resistance, a path to freedom.
