National Gendarmerie Museum
The National Gendarmerie Museum (French - Musée de la Gendarmerie nationale) is a museum on the history of France's National Gendarmerie. It is sited at 1-3 Rue Émile-Leclerc in the town of Melun.
It first opened in 1946 but has since been repeatedly extended. Thanks to a protocol signed in 2005 between the Minister of Defence, the communauté d'agglomération Melun Val de Seine and the town of Melun, it closed between 2007 and 2015 for a complete refurbishment and redisplay in a building near the Gendarmerie's officer-training establishment.
