Popular period songs play as you stroll past dozens of life-size tableaux of WWII military and civilian life at this modern museum. The dashing but wildly impractical French officers’ dress uniforms of 1931 hint at possible reasons that France fared so badly on the battlefield in 1940. The museum screens archival films.
