Presentation

An essential collection on the First World War.

With a collection of nearly 70,000 objects and documents tracing the paths of daily and military life in the 14-18 war, the Great War Museum, which opened its doors on November 11, 2011 on the territory of the First Battle of the Marne in Meaux, is the largest museum in Europe on the First World War.

It presents, on 3 000 sqm, one of the richest and most diversified collections of the 14-18 war in the heart of an attractive and innovative scenography.

The Great War Museum is an ideal place for a family visit.
A real educational treasure through the collection: see, hear, touch, handle....
A playful tour accessible from 5 years old: projections of archival images, reconstructions of trenches, a video space in which visitors are immersed among the soldiers in the trenches or on the battlefield, games to discover the composition of uniforms, the sounds of war, the geographical evolution of the conflict zones ...

Several audio tours are available free of charge on your mobile phone or tablet, ask at the reception for instructions.
