À propos du lieu

Musée Franco-Australien
9, rue Victoria 80800 Villers-Bretonneux
  • Somme
  • Hauts-de-France
The Franco-Australian Museum presents, through the richness of the collection of the Franco-Australian association, the ties uniting Villers-Bretonneux with Australia ever since the First World War and the night of 24-25 April 1918 when the Australian army stopped the German advance at Villers-Bretonneux. Using not only personal object but also archive images and moving testimonies of friendship, this unprecedented history of war, memory and future is told through a museographical journey divided into 4 sections (a Place of Memory and Commemoration, Memories of War, a National Memory and Town Memories).
