The "La Broderie d'Alsace" exhibition takes up and expands the play in the form of storyboards illustrated by Nicolas Mengus, doctor of history and illustrator. A total of 1,660 drawings are produced to retrace the characters' destinies from 1939 (the evacuation of Alsace and the Drôle de Guerre) to 1953 (the trial of the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre in Bordeaux).
Between these two dates, many facts of regional history are evoked: the displacement of populations in Limousin, daily life and resistance to the Nazi regime in de facto annexed Alsace and, of course, forced conscription.
Practical information:
Exhibition open daily from 09:30 to 18:00 (last entry at 17:00), from Saturday April 11 to Friday July 10, 2026 inclusive.
Free admission. Free admission to the exhibition.
Anyone wishing to take advantage of this visit to discover the Alsace-Moselle Memorial must purchase an admission ticket at the current rate.
