Once again this year, the Musée de la Gendarmerie Nationale welcomes us free of charge during this Nuit des Musées 2024, this not-to-be-missed event that gives us the chance to enjoy numerous cultural nocturnes. This Saturday, May 18, 2024, parents and children can discover the astonishing collections of this museum dedicated to theHistory of the Gendarmerie Nationale. A history put into perspective with the great History of France, from the Middle Ages to the present day.
The permanent collections, which can be visited during this 20th edition of the Nuit des Musées, house many different objects, from the 18th-century musket of the Maréchaussée des Monnaies to the MR73, the GIGN's traditional weapon, and the various vehicles used by the gendarmerie. The "chronothematic" alcoves on the first and second floors look back at pivotal periods for the Gendarmerie, including the Maréchaussée, the two empires, the two world wars, colonization and decolonization, the time of reforms, May '68, and many other key moments.
Le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles.
