Entirely renovated in 2009, the museum proposes a route(course) of visit tackling(approaching) the big(great) themes bound(connected) to the last worldwide conflict, by origins in postwar years. Joined with a former station, a long contemporary building(ship) contains a sober and modern exhibition(exposure), allowing to re-locate conflict at first in its historic context by going back up(by raising) «the corridor(lane) of time(weather)» since 1919\. The first part allows to tackle(approach) big(great) events of war on their geopolitical context, of Treaty of Versailles in the Victory of 1945\. Lightings are brought on subjects such as the rise(ascent) of Nazism, exodus and bombardments, disembarkation(unloading) of Normandy. Here, big(great) history(story) is next(goes alongside) to the girl, whose more personal stories evoke the rise(ascent) of Nazism, exodus, or else bombardments. The second part is aimed at submerging the visitor in the everyday life(daily paper) of the French people during the Occupation. In the course of rooms, the themes which follow from it (the diet(regime) of gingham(vichy water) and the Collaboration, Resistance, Internment and Deportation, Libération) are presented under a general and local angle: everyday life(daily paper), rationing, propaganda, STO, the Resistance and the famous attack of the scrubland(resistance movement) of Lorris August 14th, 1944, and of course the sinister concentration camps. Subject(Words) is clear, efficient, supported well with reconstructions and with numerous stories. Numerous original documents and period pieces give rhythm to the route(course) (tickets of rationing, gas generator, weapons, posters, newspapers, stories..) Visit ends with the distribution(broadcasting) of a movie of archives images handling conflict in Loiret. The majority collections comes from gifts(donations). So, weapons, period pieces, documents papers and uniforms rushed of Loiret and Centre region given by all those who lived this sad time(period) or by their heirs. Numerous gifts(donations) so acquired and kept(preserved) over the years allow to the museum to be a delightful place in perpetual evolution. Photographies, propaganda posters and stories allow to the visitor to unwind(unroll) the thread(wire) of six war years.
