For this 21st edition of the Nuit des Musées, the Musée de l'Ordre de la Libération is offering a theatrical tour, to be discovered free of charge this Saturday, May 17, 2025, during a special nocturne.

Every year, the Nuit des Musées (Museum Night) brings together thousands of curious visitors to museums and monuments across France. This Saturday, May 17, 2025, the Musée de l'Ordre de la Libération is taking part: to mark the 21st edition of this cultural event, it is opening its doors to us free of charge and offering us an exceptional visit to mark this special day.

The Museum of the Order of the Liberation was established at Les Invalides in 1970. It is dedicated to the order founded by General de Gaulle during World War II and to the Companions of Liberation. Its collections tell the story of these fighters who joined Free France and the Resistance inside France, as well as those deported for resisting Nazi oppression. Fully renovated in 2016, the museum showcases over 2,000 artifacts across 1,200 square meters, illustrating the journey of the Companions.
