Museum of the Resistance and the Combatant

From the Second World War to the present day

From the rise of totalitarianism to the liberation of the national territory, through the march to war, the exodus, the occupation, the resistance, the deportation, the liberation … follow the exciting timeline and understand the major historical aspects of World War II.

Did you know that?

In 1989 a former deported resistance fighter offered an exhibition on the World War II. This was the birth of the Museum of the Resistance and Deportation, dedicated to the 1939-1945 conflict in France, but also in Montauban and the department. In 2014 the museum evolves with a new scenography and opens to the conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries, within the Memory Center.
