Thats a sad one, it was a lovely museum full of impressive stuff spread over several floors I'd recommend to anyone. Always an enjoyable visit. Sad when its gone.

Sad that it is gone. I visited it back in 1989.

Was there about 7 years agi it was a good museum , had a nice 88 Flak outside if i remember correctly , wonder what's happening to the contents ?

Cheers, Ade.

That one was going to close about 5 years ago, when i was there, but it got a reprieve..................sadly not for long. There were a lot of "iffy" pieces there, but the bulk of it was nice, shame its gone, Just like the "tommy" cafe in Poziers, when madam Brulle gave it up in 96, and Dominique took it over, it was never the same, and boy what a collection she had!
