39-45 Museum
Description
A stone's throw from Pointe Saint Mathieu, come back in time in this exceptional German command blockhouse.
On 5 floors, discover a museography centered on testimonies and anecdotes, amply illustrated by thousands of objects, documents and photographs.
As you descend into the fortress, begin by delving into the daily lives of soldiers on the Atlantic Wall.
Then, in thematic rooms, relive the history of the war in Brittany, told by those who lived through it.
Finally, enjoy the unique panoramic view offered by the kiosks and the roof of the blockhouse, over the entrance to the harbor of Brest, from the Crozon peninsula to the island of Ouessant.
