Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917

The Battle of Passchendaele is acknowledged as one of the world’s most horrifying battlefields. A canonical image of the First World War. More than 600,000 victims fell for the gain of barely eight kilometres of ground. And thus Passchendaele became the symbol of the senselessness of the atrocities of war. The Passchendaele 1917 Memorial Museum focuses on visitor experience, with a reconstructed underground dugout and trenches. Young and old can obtain an insight into life in and around the battlefields from historical objects, authentic documents, uniforms, video clips and more. The audio guides (also available for children) provide additional information. A moving visit that will enrich your exploration of the war sites in the surroundings.
