Balad' Pass offer: Free admission for the holder of the Balad' Pass for a paying entry.
With a collection of almost 70,000 objects and documents tracing the daily and military life of the 14-18 war, the Musée de la Grande Guerre, which opened its doors on November 11, 2011 on the site of the First Battle of the Marne in Meaux, is Europe's largest museum on the First World War.
Over 3,000 m², it presents one of the richest and most diversified collections on the First World War, in an attractive and innovative scenography.
The Musée de la Grande Guerre is the ideal place for a family visit.
A veritable educational treasure trove through the collection: see, hear, touch, handle....
A playful itinerary accessible to visitors aged 5 and over: projections of archive images, trench reconstructions, a video space in which visitors are immersed among the soldiers in the trenches or on the battlefield, games to discover the composition of uniforms, the sounds of war, the geographical evolution of conflict zones...
Several audio tours are available free of charge on your cell phone or tablet; ask for instructions at reception.
Since November 2024, come and discover an installation never seen before in France: an open-air trench. This new space in the museum grounds offers a unique immersive experience accessible to all, not to be missed. Transport yourself to the heart of the trenches of the First World War.
At once educational, accessible and didactic, this trench is a unique device where you are the actor in the discovery. Complementing the permanent exhibition and the museum's collections, this scenography gives an insight into what man can experience, at the heart of tragedy, whatever his camp or nationality.
