Disappeared - Musee de la Caverne du Dragon

Before the creation of the controversial Musee de la Caverne du Dragon, in Oulches (02), there was a nice collection of Great War guns including : a French 75 mle 1897, a German 7.7cm FK 96 n/A, a German 7.7cm FK 16 Allemand, and a German 15cm sFH 02

The new museum is only showing the French 75 mm. This will bring arguments to the numerous people who think this museum is giving too much emphasis to the museography, abandoning too much the historical work. What happened to that superb and quite rare heavy howitzer ?
