Book the National Gendarmerie Museum, a grandiose and surprising place

Opened since October 10, 2015 and inaugurated by the Minister of the Interior on December 17, 2015, the National Gendarmerie Museum has taken its place, in Melun,in an old barracks building that has been completely renovated. Modern architecture and French history blend together to unveil a rich and original collection, a reflection of one of the oldest French institutions.

It is a unique museum which is highlighted by a huge flaming grenade forming its entrance. Inside, the largest suspended display case in Europe is the backbone of the exhibition.

There's no doubt that your events will not go unnoticed in this exceptional setting. Choosing the Musée de la Gendarmerie Nationale for your event means offering a unique venue that embodies the values of accessibility and modernity.

The Spaces available to hire of the Gendarmerie Museum

At the National Gendarmerie Museum, the spaces made available can be adapted to your needs and your event, thanks to a significant modularity of the offer. Several spaces are available, which can be booked independently of each other, combined with each other or booked in their entirety with the possibility of total privatization.

Lélu Conference Room

Located on the second floor, opposite the exhibition space, the Lélu conference room is equipped with modern equipment: retractable projection screen and video projector, DVD player, integrated connections for two laptops, sound system and microphones. The space includes a flexible conference room (conference, meeting, cocktail, activity, etc.), a reception area with armchairs and sofas, and dedicated washrooms. It can be rented on its own or in addition to other spaces in the museum.

Lobby

Once under the impressive flaming grenade, your guests will discover a spacious area from which they will see the jewel of the museum's architecture hanging over their heads: the huge window that pierces the entire building. This space serves the store, the temporary exhibition space, the cultural activities room and has a bathroom on the same level. An ideal place to set up a cocktail party or organize a speech. It can be rented alone or in addition to other spaces in the museum.

The square

Fully equipped with electrical connections and lighting integrated into the ground, the square can accommodate any type of outdoor event or even ephemeral structures (tent, orangery, tents, stands, etc.). With an unusual access via the drawbridge, your event will be a memorable one.

Temporary exhibition room

Accessible on the first floor, this 200m2 room offers a rectangular space with many possibilities of arrangement. Equipped with numerous electrical connections, it adapts perfectly to different configurations. It is an ideal place to organize daytime exhibitions, conferences, animations and cocktail parties. Independent of the permanent exhibition, your event can take place away from the museum's public. It can be rented on its own or in addition to other spaces in the museum.

A pretty nice museum. Cool exhibits that take you for a trip in time from the early days of the gendarmerie to the modern times. I was only slightly disappointed that in the section "gendarmerie in popular culture" there was no mention of the famous Louis de Funes movies. And some of the exhibits could be better lit - the medal collection on the ground floor was really hard to appreciate.
