Vincey Military Art Museum

Plunge into the heart of history with the Musée d’Art Militaire de Vincey, a unique remembrance space in Lorraine dedicated to the conflicts of the 20th century. Housed in the emblematic red-brick buildings of the former Boussac spinning mills, this place steeped in history welcomes you in the immediate vicinity of the famous battle of the Trouée de Charmes, which strongly marked its identity.

Spanning more than 1,500 m² on two levels, the museum offers a complete immersion in the history of the First World War, the Second World War, Indochina and even more recent conflicts, right up to the Algerian War. You’ll discover an impressive collection of nearly a hundred mannequins in action, numerous vehicles and artillery pieces in working order, and a realistic reconstruction of a trench. Uniforms, equipment, posters and everyday objects enrich this dense, structured tour.

The tour is distinguished by its lively, educational approach. Enthusiastic guides bring the collections to life with clear explanations, combining objects, images and sound effects. The evocation of General de Castelnau and local battles reinforces the museum’s territorial roots, and fully illustrates its duty to remember.

The museum is open to all visitors, whether self-guided or accompanied, and is suitable for individuals, school groups and associations.

Book your visit and enjoy an immersive, enriching and deeply moving experience.
