The Mémorial de Caen is a museum and war memorial in Caen, Normandy, France commemorating the Second World War and the Battle for Caen. The building and grounds are located in the northern suburbs of the city of Caen on the site of an old blockhouse. The architect was Jacques Millet and the original curator was Yves Degraine. The memorial is dedicated to the history of violence and intensive, outstanding conflict in the 20th Century and particularly World War II. The museum was officially opened on 6 June 1988 (the 44th anniversary of D day) by the French President François Mitterrand. The original building deals primarily with World War II, looking at the causes and course of the conflict. The museum was subsequently extended: * In 1991 a gallery dedicated to the Nobel Peace Prize was added * Three memorial gardens, The American Garden, The British Garden and the Canadian Garden were dedicated to the three main allied nations involved in liberating France * An extension focusing on the Cold War and the search for Peace was opened by President Jacques Chirac in 2002. It comprises neutralized warheads, planes and a fragment of the Wall of Berlin. ==Gallery== File:Mémorial de Caen Hall.jpg|Hall File:Mémorial de Caen foyer October 2011.JPG|Foyer File:Caen memorial jardinamericain.jpg|American Garden File:Memorial Avion.jpg|Hawker Typhoon fighter aircraft at Memorial File:Memorial maquette porteavion usa.JPG|Model of U.S. aircraft carrier File:Mémorial uniforme soviétique WWII.JPG|Soviet army uniform (1939-1945) with PPSh-41 submachinegun File:Memorial V1.jpg|Model of German V1 File:Non-Violence (sculpture) Caen.JPG|Non-Violence (sculpture) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mémorial de Caen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
