Archives on display in the museum

The Musée national de la Marine presents in its permanent exhibition
reproductions of documents from the archives of the Service historique de la Défense in Rochefort.
In 2021, Rochefort's role as an experimental arsenal is addressed with the presentation of the archive Reforming shipbuilding at the turn of the 20th century: Admiral Théophile Aube and the thinking of the Jeune École.
Plans, sketches, photographs and plates taken from books bear witness to the
of the Rochefort arsenal and shipbuilding from the 1880s.
In 2022, health will be in the spotlight:
as part of the festivities celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Naval Medical School
of the Naval Medical School, the archival sources on display at the Hôtel de Cheusses
the history of this first school of its kind in the world and, more broadly, the
and, more broadly, the care and training functions provided in the arsenal from 1666 to 1927.
