A UNIQUE COLLECTION, WITNESSING THE INTERNATIONAL HISTORY OF HUSSARS
With 17,000 objects, the collection offers an overview of one of the most unusual and attractive military “phenomena”, still today linked to a certain imaginary world.
The museographic journey, made up of historical sequences, invites the visitor to go back in chronological order through the history of the Hussars in France and throughout the world and to discover the uniforms, reflections of past fashions, at the origin of the influence of these soldiers for more than four centuries.
It is a spectacular set of 130 mannequins that is presented, alternating complete uniforms, busts, pieces of clothing or equipment of incredible richness and diversity from the 17th century to the progressive standardization in the 20th century.
Numerous tools are available to help you visit the site, allowing you to restore objects, weapons and uniforms in their context. In this way, the collections and history become accessible and comprehensible to the greatest number of people and each visitor can become an actor of his visit.
The Massey Museum, labeled “Musée de France” is located in the heart of a “remarkable” garden. This old Moorish-style residence with an observation tower overlooking the Pyrenees, offers the public a modern museum of Art and History.
