Origin and history

The Museum 39-45 of Ambletuse is a place dedicated to the memory of events related to the Second World War. Located in the coastal commune of Ambletuse, this museum is part of a territory marked by its military and strategic history, especially because of its proximity to the Strait of Pas-de-Calais, a key point during the conflicts of the 20th century. Museums of this nature play an essential role in preserving collective memory.

In the Hauts-de-France, a region often affected by wars because of its border position, these places allow to pass on to future generations the realities experienced by local populations. They also recall the importance of ports and coastal areas in defence and occupation strategies during the period 1939-1945.
