Very interesting and atmospheric living history museum where you can walk around actual trenches from the first world war and see the shell craters. It's great for children to get a idea of what it was like in the war for soldiers. The museum itself has an esoteric mixture of war items which are haphazardly labelled as well as a fun and informative set of photo viewing boxes.

This is incredible and very moving. All trenches are still place in the woods and there concrete tunnels to explore. The museums is very quirky with an extensive archive of slides on old wooden viewing projectors.

Very good place. Well worth a visit. The displays in side are fantastic but once you are outside it just gets better. The trench is much longer and bigger than I thought and the tunnel is big to but not very tall so for any tall people it is a long tunnel to bend down in bt worth it.

Amazing collection of artifacts and photographs I have never seen before. The collection of stereograph images were especially fascinating and horrifying like nothing I've seen in any WW1 publication. Wish there was more info posted about items, in the often crowded cabinets. Still, the collection and preserved trenches were amazingly fascinating to look at.

Museum has a good collection of uniforms and weapons that were used in the trenches as well as some less well known armour and improvised weapons. Also has a good collection of trench art and in the second house a collection of posters and home front bits and bobs. Very little explanation of what you are looking at but that is what google is for these days! Outside are preserved trenches and dug outs with tunnels connecting various trenches. Gives a very good idea of the nasty conditions on the front line.

Incredible private collection. Walking between and through WW1 trenches is an unbelievable experience.

Two stars because of the price!! 8€A 5€C The
"Museum" all the artifacts are cramped together in small rooms, and no info! Trenches, even though we bring our hiking shoes they are way muddy and wet to enjoy. Best option will be rain boots but no where to clean them. My kids didn't enjoy it as much, too bad they where really excited. We have taking them to Bastogne many times, they like it there. This time I wanted to show them something from WWl for a change, maybe Hill 60 and Bayernwald are better. The other part of the "Museum" is a house and in the rooms they have more cramped memorabilia again with no info. For me was a disappointment. Just try to be ready to muddy conditions, extra shoes and bags to put the dirty ones. And if you are a beer fan try their beer!!!

This is a must see place if you are in the area. A couple of hours will pass in the blink of an eye. There are many picture boxes of old photos from WW1. Walking through the trenches and under 2 tunnels. It is a good place to take children as they can explore and go in the trenches. It is worth noting that if it rains take wellies as the trenches will have water in them.
