The CIC in partnership with the Musée de l'Armée

The CIC has been a key partner to the Musée de l’Armée at the Invalides since 2003, sponsoring temporary exhibitions which highlight decisive but sometimes little-known phases in France’s history.

France-Germany 1870–1871. War, Commune and Memories takes a new look at a turning point in our history, marked by the crystallisation of the Franco-German conflict and its painful impact on the seventy-five years that followed, the irruption of social revolution with the Commune, and the difficult birth of the Republic, founded on the ruins of the Second Empire and in the teeth of opposition from the Royalist movement.

The CIC is funding three multimedia installations, one dedicated to French and German remembrance sites, the other two to the Bollée mitrailleuse and the Krupp canon respectively.

CIC’s latest sponsorship is designed to help spread the message to a wide audience that knowledge of the past is a source of energy everyone can draw on to strengthen their faith in the future.
