The Memory, Heritage and Achives Department (DMPA) has produced a series of historical exhibitions that are available for loan or sale.

Each exhibition includes 20 to 40 panels and focuses on an overall topic presented thematically or global or chronologically. At first, the exhibitions were designed for middle and high schools, but they can be used for a wide range of publics. They are modular, easy to transport and easy to set up in any location, and harmoniously combine texts and images.

The exhibitions focus on the historical context, events and players in 20th-century conflicts. They help to keep memory and vigilance alive.

Available exhibitions:

• Citizenship
• 1914-1918, the Great War
• 1919-1939, from one war to the next
• 1940, fighting and resistance
• Marshal Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, a legendary hero

• Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp, KL Na, 1941-1945
