The Muséoscope du Lac
Much more than just a story!
The construction of the Serre-Ponçon dam was an economic and social upheaval for the Hautes-Alpes and Ubaye departments. In 1994, businessman Gérard Ubrun realized that there was a gap in the history surrounding this event. He decided to film the testimonies of those who had been expropriated and build a museum recounting the history of the submerged villages.
After four years of research, the Muséoscope du Lac opened its doors.
