Musée airborne
Sainte-Mère-eglise
Inaugurated for the 20th anniversary of the D-Day landings, expanded for the first time for the 40th anniversary, the Airborne Museum wanted to commemorate the 70th anniversary in June 2014. For this occasion, a new building was constructed with the aim of offering visitors a unique visiting experience. The tour alternates between educational airlocks and immersive areas designed to immerse the public in the heart of the Battle of Normandy. It follows the progress of a radio operator from the 82nd Airborne Division from his jump on Sainte-Mère-Eglise on the night of June 5 to 6, 1944 to the Victory Parade in New York in January 1946.

Permis de (re)construire, Vire 1944-1965
Musée de Vire
This exhibition is the result of eighteen months of research and a significant amount of work analyzing archives, collecting testimonies and objects. It was produced in collaboration with specialists in reconstruction architecture.
120 emblematic everyday objects, period furniture, plans, films and unpublished images were presented in the vast spaces of the museum chapel (300m²), through evocations of interiors. The visitor was thus immersed in these heroic times when the new city was built, when daily life was modernized.

Jacques Le Chevallier, idées de lumière
Mamra - Granville
Jacques Le Chevallier is the creator of the stained glass windows of the Notre-Dame-du-Cap-Lihou church in Granville, in the aftermath of the Second World War. A glass painter, but also an engraver and decorator, he participated in the revival of sacred art in the 1930s. In collaboration with René Koechlin, he developed a series of light fixtures made from industrial materials. Deeply religious, a committed artist, a defender of modernity, he cultivated a research and freedom of expression that placed him at the forefront of the history of 20th century Decorative Arts.
The exhibition was divided into two parts: the first is devoted to his work for the Notre-Dame church: the entire creative process is shown, from the first tracings to the life-size cardboards. The second part illustrates the diversity of his work: his first sketches, a series of educational games and ABC books, a painting of the port of Granville, several industrial design light fixtures with numerous preparatory sketch boards for their creation and abstract stained glass windows, set in lead or in glued glass slabs.
