Programme

The highlights of the year are 2 major heritage exhibitions, which take place in spring and autumn. The aim of these exhibitions is to share our country's military history with as many people as possible, seen within its French and broader European context.

In connection with the permanent collections, temporary exhibitions and the heritage and history of the Hôtel des Invalides, the museum regularly organises symposia and conferences, with the aim of teaching people about France's military history. These varied scientific events enable researchers to exchange viewpoints, and to share the results of their work with the public, who are increasingly taking an interest in military history.
