Paris at War — Now at the National World War One Museum

 

An exciting new exhibit opened 6 November 2025 at the National World War One Museum in Kansas City.  It's a presentation on Paris during the Great War. The organizers describe their program:

Follow the lives of Parisians as World War I transforms their city. Experience the city’s dramatic shift from the flourishing days of the French empire to the uncertainty and hardship brought on by hunger, air raids and the constant threat of German artillery. Discover how ordinary people navigated moments of fear and loss, while workers and newcomers from across the globe blazed new paths on the streets of Paris.

Here are some examples of the visual exhibits the curators have assembled:
