Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation du Cher

The Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation du Cher (Cher Museum of Resistance and Deportation) records the history of resistance and deportation in the Cher départment during the Second World War. With the German occupation of France and the establishment of the Vichy Regime, the line of demarcation between the two zones spilt Cher in half: this posed challenges for the local population, and offered opportunities for resistance. The museum presents the history of local resistance through objects, documents, and testimony from those who experienced it.

As the location of the departmental archives, the museum also serves as an important centre for research on local experiences of the Second World War.
