The Museum, inaugurated in its new headquarters on 25 April 2001 25 April 2008, is housed in the headquarters of Loc. Capoluogo inside the historic building that was the home, immediately after the war, of the first partisan band active in the lower Valle d’Aosta, the Brigata Lys protagonist in 1943 of the first resistance action in the Lower Valley, in the more general context of the war and the struggle for Liberation in the Aosta Valley.
Relics, uniforms, helmets, clothing, flags, topographic maps, weapons, objects of various kinds are suitably combined with precious documentary, photographic and iconographic material, enhanced thanks to multimedia technologies and new and engaging communication methods.
