My third visit over the last 15 years. Sanctuary Wood has a horrific wartime history, the worst place for sanctuary under shellfire is within a wood as the splinters killed more people than the shells. The museum is very interesting and has a wealth of information / exhibits / very graphic pictures. My only negatives are that the owners have... More

Take spare footwear if you want to walk in the trenches, ideally wellies. A great little private museum and fascinating trenches, bomb craters and shattered remains of the original trees. More

I can only reinforce what other reviewers have said. All the other WW1 sites we visited in Flanders gave the fallen the dignity they deserve. This was the exception. It had "rip-off" written all over it. A coachload of school pupils from England was leaving just as we got there, and another Belgian school group was passing through while we... More

On arriving, we were met my a man sat in a large armchair by the cashier who repeated private museum, must pay, at least 10 times every minute. This was the entrance of the museum with a cafe next to it, full of stuffed cats, and other dusty random sundries. The first part of the museum smelt of cat wee... More

On entering the building the smell of stagnant water or worse, was dominant. Walking through the main exhibition room to the trenches I noticed a lot of cluttered exhibits lacking information. Out to the trenches and what a shambles I found. The whole area has become overgrown by saplings and trees obviously grown wild and unmanaged over decades. The ground... More

If you like shambling, unlabelled collections and the stench of cat wee this is the place for you. Forget the "musuem" part; despite an improvement in over the last 12 months the exhibition of the collection is a joke. WW1 and WW2 items are mixed together and displayed with a bizarre collection of junk that has no relevance whatsoever. The... More

8 Euros appeared dear to get in but after looking through the museum and then seeing the preserved trench lines and yet another museum it was well worth it. The remnants of some of the blasted tree stumps with poppies held in place with barbed wire and the shell holes around really make you think More

If i could give thisd place no starts i would, it was terrible, a big fat man sits in his chair taking your money 10 euros a head, grunts at you and you end up in a room full of everything and nothing, too much stuff no explanations for anything, not sure the trenches are real and the cafe stinks...

It is difficult to do a rating for this museum. Sanctuary Wood Museum is for sure a bonanza for the owner. His price policy for entrance fees is often called irreproducible. But if you are interested in WW 1 artefacts and know something about it, may be the visit it worth the fee. The old photo-boxes with 3-D Photos from... More
