The MUS - Museum of Urban and Social History of Suresnes, opened its doors in June 2013 in the railway station rehabilitated and expanded thanks to a contemporary extension on the ground floor. The MUS is a museum of the history of the city, of its urban landscape, of its social and economic evolution, centered on the period of social urbanism of the years 1920-1940 whose city-gardens and the School of Open Air are the most accomplished examples. An interpretive journey on the architectural heritage of the 20th century materialized by 21 bilingual monuments (French, English) placed in front of the buildings invites visitors to discover the heritage in situ.
