Resumo: (cultural and world heritage)
Our permanent exhibition tells the story of the invasion of Belgium and the first months of the mobilisation, the four years trench war, the end of the war and the permanent remembrance ever since.

The exhibition focuses on the human experience and draws particular attention to the contemporary landscape, which is a true testament of the war history. To better understand that, our visitors can request visits to the belfry, from where they can have a view over the city and the surrounding battlefields. Hundreds of authentic objects and images are presented in an innovative experience-orientated layout. Lifelike characters and interactive installations allow visitors to put themselves in the shoes of those who actually experienced the war a century ago.
The museum includes many possible perspectives. The military and historical aspects are important, but so are the relationship between the past and the present and our approach – as humans and as a society – to our past and that of all other countries involved. People from five continents and more than hundred different countries and cultures took part in the war in Flanders. Our public is international and extremely diverse.

The the museum is much more than a permanent exhibition. We currently offer educational activities for students from both Belgium and abroad, as well as a cultural and artistic programme. In the research centre of the museum, visitors can delve deeper into that dramatic period of the history of the world. Here you can research the big, global background story as well as personal and local history.
