Some good content to back up the battlefield tours. You can also climb to the top of the tower - very high. Only negative is that they are having extensive restoration work and this is very loud in some of the main exhibitions ( hammer and drills noise )

Impressive museum revealing a lot of details of worldwar 1 Partly with video movies partly with remains. It is an overload of information, so pick what s of interest. Visiting the museum won t make you happy, but it will enrich your knowledge.

excellent ww1 museum, the interactive bracelet idea is great, really engaging. we spent a long time at this museum as there really is such a huge amount of information. we enjoyed climbing the belfry too for beautiful views of ypres, it was a few extra euro but worth it. staff were very helpful and informative too

Beautiful Great War museum in the heart of Ypres. Housed in the famous cloth hall, we spent over an hour wondering around the large well displayed exhibits. Plenty of space to look around, with modern presentations, scale models, a cinema room to explain the battles that took place in the immediate vicinity, and some moving personal stories. All this with uniforms, weapons, equipment & everyday life items. The Cloth Hall itself is an impressive building, rebuilt soon after the end of the war it’s a perfect replica of the one destroyed by the end of November 1918. Large gift shop downstairs too, although not cheap. Purchased a book for €25 that had a recommended retail price of £15. We visited many museums in the area & ‘In Flanders Fields’ wasn’t the best (in our opinion) & was also the most expensive (€12 each entry), but was still an interesting place to visit.
