Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation - Citadelle de Besançon

The Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation has embarked on a major metamorphosis project and will reopen its doors on 8 September 2023. It will offer new temporary exhibition spaces and showcase its collection of concentration camp art, which is unique in Europe. Its completely revamped permanent exhibition will feature a rich selection of archives and objects, offering a fascinating insight into the complexities of the Second World War. It will illustrate the lives of men and women caught up in history, from the Nazis' rise to power to the Liberation and its aftermath. The Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation has been committed to its mission as a museum of history since its inception, and it is more essential than ever to continue this work at a time when the last witnesses are disappearing... 8-10 SEPTEMBER 2023: INAUGURAL WEEKEND FOR THE MUSEUM OF RESISTANCE AND DEPORTATION After 3 years of work, the Museum of the Resistance and Deportation in Besançon will reopen its doors on 8 September 2023! To mark the occasion, a live show and musical programme will punctuate the inaugural weekend from 8 to 10 September (with free admission to the Citadelle). PLEASE NOTE: on 8 September, from 5am to 11pm, traffic and parking will be prohibited on rue de Fusillés, except for the Ginko Citadelle bus service (terminus in the Chamars car park, departures every 10 minutes) and PRMs. On this day, entry to the Citadelle will be limited to the museum and the performance areas (chapel and cour des cadets).
