A very very good presentation of the horrors of WWI, with a particularly moving visit to a mock-up of the trenches. Very good to combine with a visit to Tyn Cot Cemetery + the John McCrae Memorial Cemetery, all in this area. Do not miss the 8PM Last Call ceremony at Menin Gate in Ypres.

Merely disappointed that I couldn't get in as the place is being completely refurbished. I will hopefully visit Ypres again and look forward to seeing it then.

Absolutely shattering. It's worth coming to Belgium just for this.
The sound of the audio-visual room, with faint voices of little children crying "Papi !" behind the screams and shouts and shellfire of the battlefield will stay with me forever.
If you have children of your own, DO bring them.

Allow sufficient time for your visit to this museum. The temporary displays plus the permanent collections were both excellent on our visit. We expected to be in the museum for about 2 hours and actually emerged after 4 hours just in time to get a late lunch.
The museum has recently had a major upgrading. However, the previous version was...
