The museum is the brainchild of the Departmental Assembly and its President Jean Garcin, "Colonel Bayard" in the Resistance. The aim was to bear lasting witness to a recent history, while going beyond the anecdotal nature of the event to express and promote a universal ideal.
One of the greatest decorators in the history of French and American cinema, Willy Holt, who won a César for decoration in 1988 for Louis Malle's film Au revoir les enfants, contributed to the museum project.
The museum is temporarily closed. Reopening planned for 2024.
