MUSEUM OF THE SURRENDER

It’s the 7th of May, 1945… 2:41am.… the end of World War II in Europe. Discover this historical event that took place in secret in the “map room” located in the technical college (now called Lycée Roosevelt) in the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, commanded by General Eisenhower. Archives, uniforms, and artefacts bring the months that preceded the Nazi surrender at Reims to life. Relive the night that changed the face of the world as we knew it as you venture into the signature room, a chief location in European history, where the end of this tragedy also marked the beginning of a long process of reconciliation.

Opening times:
10 am to 6 pm
Closed on Tuesdays and January 1st, May 1st, November 1st and December 25th
PLEASE NOTE: from Monday 12 May 2025, the Reddition Museum will close for renovation work. Reopening planned for March 2026.
