We have to be daring in order to progress!
Dare to leap into the sky, travel to the moon
or Mars. For 2012, La Coupole is being daring!
This year marks a milestone in the history of
our centre with the opening of the first 3D
planetarium north of Paris.
A natural scientific extension to La Coupole,
the planetarium complements the museum’s historical programme.
Exactly 70 years ago, one of the most tragic events of World War II took place in our
region, the great roundup of 11 September.
La Coupole is paying tribute to all the victims
of this event, of which many people are still
unaware, through a major exhibition.
Browse our brochure, discover the new
worksheets, see for yourself the extent of
our new educational offerings, from primary
to secondary school, from La Coupole to Mimoyecques, from Science to History!
Thus, La Coupole is becoming the first historical and scientific cultural centre to fully develop the link between History and Science,
between the best and worst of humanity.

Four major themes and a new exhibition, to tie in with the school
History and Science curriculums, are proposed.
THEME 1
THEME 3
NEW EXHIBITION
An annihilated region:
1914-1945
Total war: the
new weapons
“1942, the time of the roundups in the NordPas-de-Calais and Belgium”
The Nord–Pas-de-Calais, between
1914 and 1918, was a major
war front and was occupied by
the Germans for the first time, a
particularly brutal experience for
civilians.
There are four main themes: the
invasion; the occupation; resistance;
repression, collaboration, liberation.
At Peenemünde, von Braun’s men
built the first large rocket in history:
the V2. In America, at Los Alamos,
physicists, lead by Robert Oppenheimer, put the finishing touches to
the most frightening weapon ever
made: the atomic bomb. Through
the programme for these two weapons, the very nature of total war
was unveiled: mobilising scientists,
manufacturers, the workforce, propaganda…
THEME 2

A JOURNEY INTO 20th CENTURY HISTORY
EDITORIAL BY LA COUPOLE
The nazi concentration
camp and genocide
system
This theme recalls the different
forms of German repression and
analyses the persecution of the
Jews and Romanies. A series of
photographs, taken when the
camps were discovered in 1945,
closes the trail and provides
reflection on the impact of this
discovery on western civilisation.
A new 20 minutes documentary
gives an in-depth view of the nazi
concentration camp and genocide
system.
THEME 4
The Cold War and
Space Conquest
The Peenemünde engineers were
acquired by the winning nations in
1945 (Americans, Soviets, and also
the French). They took part in the
large military missile programmes
of the cold war: the rocket, coupled with the atomic bomb, became
one of the essential foundations of
“the balance of terror”. The same
men were also involved in the great
peace adventure: the conquest of
space.
On 11 September 1942, on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Nazis
launched a major roundup targeting the Jews of Nord-Pas-deCalais. Over 500 people were arrested and sent to the Mechelen
transit camp in Belgium. Four days later, they were deported to the
Auschwitz extermination centre, where most perished.
To honour these victims, La Coupole is proposing a major exhibition
allowing us to understand the mechanisms of persecution by the
occupiers and the Vichy authorities.
Through 30 panels, we will explore the registration of the Jews,
their exclusion from society, the spoliation of their property,
the requirement to wear the yellow star from June 1942, the
organization of roundups in Belgium and northern France and the
deportation to Auschwitz.
The documents presented will allow us to understand the
administrative nuts and bolts behind the terrible events and to
analyse different behaviours in the face of this tragedy.
The exhibition will
be on display between
15 September 2012 and
15 September 2013.

VISITOR’S MAP
When you have received your audioguide headset, the visit begins with a walk
through the railway tunnel; here you will discover an exhibition on the Great War
in Flanders and the Artois region. You will then go 42 metres up in the lift.
When you enter the dome, you are given the choice of two core themes. Each
theme begins with a audiovisual show, in either the “Rex” or the “Cinéac”.
THE NORD–PAS-DE-CALAIS IN
GERMAN HANDS (1940-1945)
Relive again in images the great moments of the German Army
Occupation in northern France… The invasion, the exodus, the daily
life of the population, the resistance and the Liberation.
Projected on a replica of the wall where people were shot in the
citadel of Lille, you will not forget the poignant letter of a young 21
year old teacher, 3 hours before falling under the German bullets.
“REX” TOUR PATH
HITLER’S SECRET WEAPONS AND
THE HIDDEN SIDE OF SPACE
EXPLORATION
Discover the programme of the German V1 and V2 secret weapons.
In Peenemünde, the people of von Braun built the first big rocket in
history: the V2, a weapon designed as an instrument of a terror war
against civil populations.
After the war, the Peenemünde engineers were captured by the
winners of 1945. They took part in the great military programmes
of the “Cold War”.
An area presenting models of rockets in the space conquest and
many splendid pictures.
Astronomy is undoubtedly one of the most popular sciences
among children. A planetarium is a great tool for teaching
science to pupils of all levels.
Thanks to support from the General Council of Pas-de-Calais,
the Regional Council of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the State and
the C.A.S.O., La Coupole has equipped itself with stereoscopic
(3D) projection equipment allowing visitors to travel in space
and discover the mysteries of the Universe.
With a capacity of 133 seats (including 4
spaces for people with reduced mobility), the
planetarium room is built in the image of a
huge dark bubble.
For sessions in 3D, viewers will be equipped
with the latest generation in active glasses
for an unforgettable experience
Fed by a rich database of almost 100,000
stars, galaxies and planets and featuring a 360°
hemispherical screen with a diameter of 15
metres and a 5.1 surround sound system, the
planetarium offers viewers a total immersion in
Space and the Sciences.
The graphics capabilities of such a system
can be considered to far exceed the scope
of astronomical simulation, entering into the
domain of immersion and computer graphics
shows.
This area for the discovery of the universe,
celestial phenomena, the sciences and the
environment is intended for all audiences:
families, schools, teachers, students and, of
course, tourists.

“CINEAC” TOUR PATH
La Coupole’s Planetarium:
how does it work?
The schedule:
The different films
We offer 3 films to choose from:
• Earth, Moon and Sun (Only in 2D)
• Dawn of the space age
At the dawn of the Space Age, we trace the milestones of space
exploration from Sputnik to Apollo, not forgetting the first flight of
Gagarin and the first spacewalks.
The show continues with the current state of space exploration and
the next steps envisaged (private flights, manned flights to Mars,...)
The film also features some scenes on the training of cosmonauts.
• Awesome Lights: Big Mirors on the Mountain
This show presents major observatories located on Hawaii’s
Monakea volcano, Subaru, Keck, Gemini and the Canada France
Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), along with the research carried out there:
exoplanetology, stellar studies, galaxy surveys, etc.
The choice of session is at the
initiative of the first group to
make the booking.
The resource and
training centre:
The Digital Resource Centre, open by
appointment, allows for historical and
scientific archives to be consulted. Among
other resources, La Coupole has a large
collection of photographs and also books
and magazines of a historical or scientific
nature. The Resource Centre is also an
education venue for teachers and their
pupils. Classes are available allowing
for further work to be carried out to
complement the visit.
For more information, please contact the
education department.
• Either “the seasonal sky” (10 min) + one longer film
lasting 25-30 min (see the list on page 6)
• Or “the seasonal sky” followed by one or two
module(s)
The different modules, level by level:
Around 15 mins.
PRIMARY:
• “The movements of the sky”: the sky changes.
In the course of a day, the Sun, Moon and planets
travel on the celestial sphere. In the course of a
year, their respective positions change as well. To
understand these apparent movements, we need to
lift off, leaving our Earth.
PRIMARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL:
• “The Solar System”: directly inspired by science
curriculums, this session allows us to explore the
solar system and discuss the latest discoveries.
• “The colours of the stars”: everything we
know about the stars comes from their light.
Their temperatures, speeds of rotation, sizes and
compositions - all this information is carried by the
light spectrum.
the Planetarium
The viewer is invited to discover various astronomical phenomena
(the alternation between day and night, the Sun moving from east
to west, lunar and solar eclipses, phases of the moon), clearing up
any errors of interpretation which have coloured the history of these
discoveries.
Important:
Planetarium sessions are presented in 2 ways - it’s
up to you to choose between:
HIGH SCHOOL AND VOCATIONAL COLLEGES:
• “Magnitudes”: to study the Universe, astronomers
first classified the stars by their shine, dreaming up
the concept of magnitude. However, too many stars
were beyond the view of the human eye alone.
Optical instruments had to be invented to “bring the
stars closer”.
Prices:
• 3.50 € per pupil - 1 accompanying adult
goes free for every 10 young people (3.50 € for
additional accompanying adults)
• Supplement for 3D sessions: 1 € per pupil
Opening hours: consult the Education Department by phone on +33 (0) 3 21 12 27 30 or
by e-mail: [email protected]
Average duration of a session: 45 minutes
• “The Seasons”: the seasons have an important
influence on our planet, but not all humans experience
the same seasons at the same time. What would life
be like on Earth if its axis was not slightly tilted?

NEW “The Nord–Pas-de-Calais and the
Tommies” (from 13 to 15)
The Nord–Pas-de-Calais region maintained
privileged links with the United Kingdom, its
frontier neighbour, during the two world wars.
Already, at the time of the Great War, the
defence of the Northern part of the front fell
to the British Expeditionary Force. Hundreds
of thousands of Britains and soldiers from all
over the Empire, found their way to the hell of
the trenches of Flanders and the Artois region.
The war was also the opportunity for them to
get to know the inhabitants of the North of
France. Powerful friendship links were forged.
At the start of the Second World War, the
British once again played a crucial military role
in the region and this continued throughout
the war. The following aspects are analysed
throughout the circuit: the 1940 conflicts and
the Dynamo operation, air attacks (one of
the main theatres being the Northern region
of France), bomb attacks on secret weapon
launch sites, the links between the Resistance
and the British secret services, operations
at the time of the Liberation. The visit of
La Coupole can also be completed by the
Once you have studied how the first V1 and
V2 missiles were developed in the ultra-secret

The worksheet ends with an analysis of the
consequences of these bombings on the city
of London and its population.
NEW “1942, the time of the roundups in

their own teaching approach.
“Wernher von Braun,
a scientist in war time” (from 13 to 18)
This worksheet, destined for younger
secondary school students, presents the
career of a scientist by the name of Wernher
von Braun. It is a multi-disciplinary, sciencedominated worksheet that associates Science
and History, looking at the ethics of science
and techniques while finishing with reflection
on the issues of social awareness and
humanity.
Students must pick up on information from
the exhibitions to enable them to reconstitute
the human and scientific career of Von Braun.

The multi-charge gun was first imagined in 1942
by the German engineer August Coenders. He
attempted to design a long-range gun (150km)
capable of striking London from French soil. For this
to be possible, the barrel had to be very long (127m).
A charge, located in the breech, propelled the shell
inside and the projectile’s flight was accelerated by
the successive explosion of additional charges.
This project was designed to hit the civilian
population in London in a “terrorist” manner.
In 2010 La Coupole supervised the work on heritage
development at the Mimoyecques bunker complex
and has handled tourist management from that
time onwards.
In 1943, the Greater German Reich, which had
suffered several serious military setbacks on the
Eastern front, strove rapidly to develop new weapon
systems destined to strike Great Britain, in order to
force it to accept a peaceful settlement and enable
the German forces to be concentrated on the Soviet
front. The main target was London.
The two principal new weapons, the V1 flying
bomb and the stratospheric V2 rocket, were
operational in the summer of 1944. But a third
weapons system was being developed from 1943:
this was a multi-charge gun. Its implementation
required the construction of gigantic underground
installations. The site chosen for these installations
was Mimoyecques, near Calais.
A primary level educational circuit is available on
request from the education service.
The choice of the
Mimoyecques site:
Speer, as Minister of Munitions, entrusted the
construction of the launch pad to the Organisation
Todt, the structure in charge of large-scale
engineering projects for the Nazi State. The planned
installations were massive and largely underground.
These were tunnels for trains, storage areas, firing
shafts, etc. The hamlet of “Mimoyecques” was
the chosen location, 15km from Calais, due to its
proximity to London and the lay of the surrounding
land.
On average, between 1,200 and 1,500 men were
employed on the worksite; work continued day and
night. The workforce was mixed (Germans, forced
labourers, Soviet prisoners and Polish deportees).
But despite the huge amount of work carried out,
the most lucid German strategists understood by
late 1943 that the effects of the “multi-charge
gun” would be derisory. Failure during trials

“Scientists during the war” (from 16 to 18)
was common. In addition, the site was located
by the RAF in September 1943 and bombed
regularly from spring 1944. On 6 July 1944, the
decisive attack with “Tallboy” bombs took place.
This particularly accurate bombardment caused
considerable damage to the site. At the end of July
1944, the worksite was abandoned. Allied attacks
on the blockhouse continued nonetheless, and it
was during one of these that Lieutenant Joseph
P. Kennedy Jr was killed, the elder brother of the
future United States president.
More than 40 years after the end of the Second
World War, the multi-charge gun had a strange
new manifestation in “Project Babylon”, the Iraqi
“super gun” ordered by Saddam Hussein.
An educational worksheet is available, which
highlights the understanding of the site. It enables
us to grasp how the Second World War is proof of a
step further down the road in total warfare, notably
in the wish to exterminate the enemy.

- Warning! In order to enable each school
group to visit La Coupole under optimum
conditions, bookings are limited to a fixed
daily quota.
In spring 1943, the Germans began the construction in France, from the Cotentin
Peninsula to the Belgian border, of 96 launch pads to enable them to fire the V1
“flying bombs” otherwise known as “pilotless planes”. The “Bois des Huit-Rues” site
is one of these launch pads. All the necessary infrastructure for launching V1’s was
concentrated within the perimeter of this site, known as the “ski site”.This name
comes from the specific shape of the three large storage buildings which, from
the air form the shape of a ski.The site is a complex of standardised buildings of
breezeblocks, concrete and some bricks, dispersed over a large surface, particularly
in the woods. All the sheds are connected by concrete paths.
However, having been informed by the Resistance of the implementation of a
new weapon, the British took photographs of suspect sites. From November 1943
onwards they launched an important bombing campaign against the 96 launch
sites - “Operation Arbalet ”. The bombing of the “Bois des Huit-Rues” took place for
the first time on 24th December 1943 at 2 p.m. In total, the site was subjected to
14 bombings between the end of 1943 and May 1944. This lead the Germans to
abandon the site.
At the same time, in spring 1944, the Germans had started to build about a hundred
new bases, comprising of few permanent and easy to camouflage buildings. These
new bases were used in the summer of 1944 for the V1 campaign. The “Bois des
Huit-Rues” site was never used.
Practical information
- Infrared audioguided headset.
- Picnic tables are available on the site. We
also offer a picnic room, to book in advance
of your visit (free service). We offer the option
of a picnic basket for 5 €, including freshlymade sandwich, bag of crisps, ice-cream and
drink (please reserve in advance).
This memorial, situated at La Coupole, was created at the
wish of the Pas-de-Calais and Nord “départements”.
Between 2003 and 2006 La Coupole carried out a huge
enquiry to establish the numbers and identities of men
and women victims of repression by the German occupying
army, their police and the Vichy regime forces of order
between 1940 and 1945. The names of almost 8,000
men, women, Jewish and Romany children scroll down the
screen.
Following the loan of photographs from victims’ families,
research carried out with archive centres, museums and
libraries, 732 portraits now appear on the picture wall.
Several computer terminals can be accessed, enabling the
visitor to follow the journey of 8,000 people, from their
arrest to their death, or to their return from deportation.
