Amazing full of well prepared exhibitions and there's room where you can feel like in trenches. They've also got a shop with original equipment and accessories from both world wars. Absolutely terrific museum. Some excellent exhibits presented in a really imaginative way. A must-see if is your thing. Great unexpected experience! I was passing by and stopped to Aldi just to buy some French bread when I saw this on Google maps. So I said „why not“! What a story inside! Everything is done very well, you feel like you are truly in the middle of the battle. Lighting, smell, atmosphere, sounds… just amazing! There is also small souvenir shop within the museum. I bought a military lamp that wasn’t working but staff was more than helpful so this small issue were fixed in 5 minutes. I recommend this place! What can I say? Incredible museum, ran by family and friends who are so passionate about the great wars, and keeping local alive where it is found. My partner and I asked some questions in the shop (more or less everything for sale is original - not reproduction) and it led to hours of chatting with the owner and his son, discussing finds and how the curated its items. We were meant to go on to a champagne house afterwards, but enjoyed this so much we decided to ditch the champagne and stay here! Wonderful asset to Fismes and good luck with continuing this brilliant museum! Fantastic..one of the best privately owned museums of the 1st and 2nd world wars. So much to see and hear. We were welcomed by the owner who said we could park our camper overnight if we wanted. There is a well written file in English you can carry round that explains the exhibits. Toilets drinks souvenirs available. 8e Adult entry fee..well worth it. The museam is restoring more items on site..so this place will get bigger and better in the future. I came to Fismes because I knew my great great grandfather fought and received a Purple Heart with the Pennsylvania 28th infantry in Fismes. I had no expectations of what the small town could offer for someone like me looking to simply connect with their family history. I was simply looking for an interesting day trip from Paris with my family to show them where our ancestor fought, and my kids like history. A few days before I went I did some searching for things to do and saw the as an option and figured we’d give it a shot. My post won’t do justice to how blown away we were with our visit to the museum. I’ve been to a lot of museums (Smithsonians, Natl WW2 in NOLA etc) and I’d put this right up there with the best of them. It’s small but extremely well done. The attention to detail the curators and refurbishers put into it is top notch. The best part isn’t just the exhibits and the equipment, it’s the stories of the soldiers and connection directly to Fismes that puts this place above others I’ve been to. At the end of the visit we mentioned to the staff that my g-gfather was in the PA 28th and they essentially dropped everything to talk to me. Their adoration for the unit is genuine and heartwarming. We later learned that the is run by family and their friends and they receive no funding from any government sources. It’s a passion project and it shows. When we left my son told them that it was better than The Louvre. Thank you to Robin and the entire crew at the museum. Keep up the great work. You are truly providing an amazing experience and service to the world. My kind of museum. Family management, easily accessible, plenty of original artifacts on well organized and immersive displays, an extensive WW1 section with a very nice focus on US army units in france. Definetly worth the travel Amazing place. I recommend to anyone looking for a thing to do while in eastern France. The figurines and all the antiques are meticulously recreated. The upper WWI floor is an amazing place, recreated with floor effects and sound effects. Not to say the lower WWII floor is not good; there is a large and interesting exhibition there too! Truly amazing place. FYI, don't be deceived by the name; it is actually a treasure chest of and not just vehicles.
