  • Incredible place that takes visitors on a journey from prewar Europe, through the boredom and horrors of trench warfare through to its impact on the remaining years of the century.

  • Absolutely amazing experience. The museum has a wonderful collection. We took my 13 year old nephew and 6 year old son, both found it very interesting, and i must admit that even though i wasn't keen on going it even had me interested 😊 Tickets were a bargain too!
  • Solely on WW I. Well organized, lots of video, and extensive English placards. The tour starts with a slide show that takes you back to 1870’s and the tensions leading up to the war. Curation is excellent.
