The Museum and Memorial of Terrorism has been designed as a place of remembrance and reflection, a museum of history that looks toward the future, and a space of research and learning for adults and young people.
Le Musée-mémorial du terrorisme est unique au monde car il aborde l’histoire et la mémoire du terrorisme sur plus d’un demi-siècle et non un seul attentat ou un seul type de terrorisme comme les autres musées comparables.
The idea for the Museum and Memorial of Terrorism emerged in the wake of the Jihadist terrorist attacks in 2015 and 2016. It reflects the desire of public authorities and victims’ associations to pay tribute to the people impacted by terrorism of all kinds. It has been designed as a place of remembrance and history on this form of war-like violence in peacetime that has affected French society and many other countries since the 1970s.
