Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, Zonnebeke

What a fantastic museum - we were blown away by it. The section where they had recreated the dugouts and trenches was amazing - really brought it to life for our 14yo who is studying the period at school. The audio tour is highly recommended - absolutely brings the displays to life and full of information. The grounds the museum is set in are beautiful too - a great ace for a stroll. Easy parking and a fantastic place to visit.

Excellent. One of the best museums that I have had the pleasure to visit in recent years and a 'must-see' if you're visiting Ypres and Passchendaele. Interesting and informative, there's plenty to see, to hold your interest, to invoke thought & to help you imagine and understand the hardship and horror of the Great War. I'd recommend allowing 3 to 4 hours to visit the museum, to walk around the memorial and to simply reflect. I really enjoyed our visit and would like to return. The old chateau, rebuilt in the 1920s, is a fitting place for the museum. It's a shame that the café was closed but that didn't detract from our visit. It really is very good and I'd gave to say that it is better than the 'In Flanders Field' museum in nearby Ypres. The audio tour guide is very useful & is included within the entry price.
