Les chemins de la Libération : entre joies et drames

To mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Liberation, La Coupole presents its new temporary exhibition. From Operation Fortitude to D-Day, this exhibition looks at the Liberation, which is often associated with a period of jubilation, but which also saw many massacres. One section is devoted to the tragedy of the “Last Train from Loos”, a deportation convoy that left on the eve of the Liberation. The viewpoints of the Allies and the Germans are evoked, as is the reaction of the local population and the role it played during this period. Exceptional objects and outfits representing each liberating troop are on display for the first time.
This exhibition has been awarded the “80 ans de la Libération” label.
