The Musée des Blindés or Musée Général Estienne is a tank museum located in Saumur in the Loire Valley of France. It is now one of the world's largest tank museums. It began in 1977 under the leadership of Colonel Michel Aubry, who convinced both the French military hierarchy and the local political authorities. Starting with only a few hundred tracked vehicles, it is now a significant collection which attracts visitors interested in the history of multinational tank development as well as professional armor specialists. From the beginning, Aubry made it a key policy of the museum to restore historically or technically significant vehicles to running condition.
