Musée de la Grande Guerre du pays de Meaux - Meaux, France - History Museums on Waymarking.com

[FR] La concrétisation d’un projet de musée consacré à la Première Guerre mondiale dans le pays de Meaux fut rendue possible par l’acquisition en 2005 de la collection privée de Jean-Pierre Verney, spécialiste reconnu de ce conflit. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, elle permet par sa diversité (uniformes, objets du quotidien, pièces d’artillerie, journaux…) d’aborder tous les aspects et de parler de tous les pays belligérants de ce premier conflit mondial.

Les visiteurs y découvriront notamment la reconstitution d’un champ de bataille avec une tranchée française, un no man’s land et une tranchée allemande.

[EN] In 2005, the town of Meaux bought the exceptional collection which consists of over 50 000 items and decided to build a museum in order to value their history!
