Gueret will be home to first war museum in Creuse

18 June 2009

Description:

Almost 66 years after the last German troops were driven out of Creuse, the department is to have its own Museum of Resistance and Deportation, in the administrative capital Gueret.

 

After 6 years of reflection, the announcement was made last week that the new museum will be sited on the ground floor of the Présidial, which was home to the old Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions.

 

The building is currently occupied by the communal library, but once this moves to new premises in 2010, the space will be transformed into a new place of memory, to tell the story of the war in Creuse.

 

The challenge now will be to raise the funding necessary to complete the work, with funds from the departmental culture budget likely to be limited.
