Welcome to the Muséoscope of Serre-Ponçon lake
The origin of the Muséoscope du Lac
The construction of the Serre-Ponçon dam was an economic and social upheaval for the departments of Hautes-Alpes and Ubaye. In 1994, Gérard Ubrun, entrepreneur, realized that there was a gap in this story. Testimonies of expropriated people should be filmed and a museum that tells the story of the flooded villages should be built.
With the help of his children, of Jean-Luc Russier, architect and the late Marcel Barès journalist, he reached his goal. After four years of research, the Muséoscope du Lac opened its doors.
