This museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm, with admission fees of €7 for temporary exhibitions and €10 for combined access.

Another source describes the Musée départemental de la Résistance et de la Déportation in Lorris, located in the Loiret department. Opened in 1988 and refurbished in 2009, this museum commemorates Resistance fighters and deportations, highlighting the forest of Orléans as a stronghold.

A third source mentions the Musée de la Résistance en Morvan in Saint-Brisson, inaugurated in 1983 by François Mitterrand.
