Museum of the Resistance and Deportation of Isère

Very interesting museum with lots of local informations, I really appreciated the visit. The shocking highlight was the sound and photography installation, it did give me goosebumps and food for thought. Furthermore, it was all for free, my great respect for the work behind it.

Very good visit. Well worth finding out what happened during WW2 in Toulouse - Resistance and Deportation - wise. The museum is on two levels and well presented. Most of the exhibits are naturally in French. Some also in English - relevant for me. There were also some exhibits about the SOE involvement in the French resistance and some horrific stories of fighters being deported to some of the Nazi concentration camps. Good stories and bad but worth a visit and the staff were friendly too. Finally, the museum is situated in a nice part of Toulouse close to some beautiful parks. Oh! And last of all - it's free! Thanks!!

Very interesting. Captures well the heroic efforts of those resisting the Nazi occupation and Vichy regime. Free entry.

The Museum is free and fantastic but the air conditioning didn't work on this visit that made it an awful environment to see the terrific and thought provoking exhibits and artifacts. It was my second visit but it was a super hot day in Grenoble that detracted greatly but it is one of the best museums on the subject.

Absolutely fascinating. How individuals and small groups formed the resistance after their government sold out their country. Free entry - plan to spend at least 2 hours.

Wonderfully presented collection of rare and unique documents, pictures, equipment and certificates from the occupation of France. A moving tribute to such an important piece of history; a horrific story that never must be forgotten.

Very detailed museum that explains thoroughly how the French people lived, resisted and fought during the German occupation. You need to read a lot in order to enjoy the visit, but the explanations are well written and presented in French, English and German. There are not many objects, if you don't want to read about the history, there is not much to see. If you live in Grenoble you'll want to take note of the addresses mentioned in the permanent exhibit, because most are within walking distance and the buildings usually have a little plaque explaining its importance during the war. This museum makes you feel very close to this dark period in history, not only in time, but specially when you realize that a lot of the events happened in places where now there are stores, shopping malls and hotels.

A very moving and informative exhibit. The multimedia presentation is excellent. This is a must-see during any visit to Grenoble. Allow yourself at least 1 to 1-1/2 hours to take it all in.
