Telling the story of wartime captivity by comparing different camps
November 2025: while we wait for the austere issues to settle (building permits, financing dossiers, various authorizations, etc.), we invite you to take a little trip into the future museum!
Computer-generated images, yes, but images that project us into the atmosphere of the MUCAP (Museum of the Captivity of War), a resolutely transnational experience:
- a trilingual museum – German, English, French – both on the labels and on the walls;
- a trilingual story, told through an on-board headset adapted to each type of audience – child, adult, hearing-impaired – which will follow the visitor throughout the permanent tour and temporary exhibitions;
- trilingual commentaries to accompany audio-visual screenings from room to room.
While we’re waiting to hear and read in three languages, we’d like to invite you to take a look…
