The Museum is free and fantastic but the air conditioning didn't work on this visit that made it an awful environment to see the terrific and thought provoking exhibits and artifacts. It was my second visit but it was a super hot day in Grenoble that detracted greatly but it is one of the best museums on the subject.

I found it a very interesting museum. I spent around 1.5 hrs, and it was open on Tuesday afternoon, unlike many other museums in Grenoble. There are English and German translations on the panels, which was very appreciated.

Very detailed museum that explains thoroughly how the French people lived, resisted and fought during the German occupation. You need to read a lot in order to enjoy the visit, but the explanations are well written and presented in French, English and German. There are not many objects, if you don't want to read about the history, there is not much to see. If you live in Grenoble you'll want to take note of the addresses mentioned in the permanent exhibit, because most are within walking distance and the buildings usually have a little plaque explaining its importance during the war. This museum makes you feel very close to this dark period in history, not only in time, but specially when you realize that a lot of the events happened in places where now there are stores, shopping malls and hotels.

Very interesting museum with lots of different resources to make understand this painful period and what it meant not only in the area of Grenoble but in the rest of the country. The explanation about the "maquis" of the region and the deceiving propaganda produced to first tempt and later force the French young men to go to Germany to work was for me presented in a very clear way. It' s a must see for at least all the europeans.

This little museum is a treasure of information about the Grenoble area during WW2. The emphasis is on the many French who supported Allied efforts with underground fighting. The museum also details the treatment of Jewish citizens during the war. It is free and worth your time.

full of moving accounts of many lives from the mid-1930s through wwii. there are many artefacts from the time and they’re laid out logically, the museum gives the resistance movements of the isère region great dignity.

The museum is, appropriately, dark and mysterious. Like the resistance members, it hides itself and is reluctant to be seen. By which I mean that it has few exhibits that relate directly to the French resistance movement. There is a lot of reading to be done, especially about the Second World War and how it impacted France, and an audio-visual that for some reason has no images or footage in a few places even though the sound continues. Local resistance heroes and heroines are justly celebrated, but as a museum it is a bit sparse in presenting the overall experience. Still, entrance is free, and if it's a boiling hot summer's day outside you'll appreciate the opportunity to become a shadow operative for a while.
