At the place where one of the fiercest battlefields of Ypres was fought, and right opposite 'Hooge Crater Cemetery', a unique WWI museum is housed in a restored church. The reconstructions of war scenes, the extensive collection of weapons, the equipment and unique photos make this museum highly recommended!
The new section, completed in 2012, can captivate visitors every year with a temporary exhibition, and the cinema offers you a unique view of the battlefields around the Hooge.
You can also enjoy an impressive collection of carved shells, 'trench art' in the cafeteria.
With the title 'Simply the best private museum in Flanders Fields', this museum guarantees a successful and instructive visit about the Great War!
