Not exactly what we were expecting.

A lovely museum, not so much about the war which is what we were hoping for, quite hard to find our way and not much in the way of instruction.

Date of experience: December 2017

Thank you for your opinion As its name suggests, the musee de Flandre is devoted to flemish art. I really hope that you liked our collection. Sincerely yours. Isabelle HENNON

Great little Museum

A little gem to pass an hour touring. 3Euro entrance for the 60+. Well worth supporting. There was a travelling exhibition of sea paintings on our visit. Very interesting. 500 and 400 year old paintings in beautiful condition. Friendly staff. Closes for lunch but you...More

Cassel is an stunning place, the museum tops it off

12 May 2015. Could have stayed much longer exploring this hill-top town (Yes it is does top a hill, and the drive up is an experience). We could have stayed much longer in the museum and the staff were very helpful.

A small but well ordered museum

Cause I am disabled, my entrance and my companions entrance is free, and also the use of the disabled chair. We got also service from the guardians. The theme is "La Flandre et la Mer" till 12/07/2015. (http://museedeflandre.lenord.fr/fr/Accueil.aspx).
