A must-visit for anyone curious about history and heritage.
All year round, the Mons Memorial Museum invites visitors to reflect!
A vast permanent exhibition allows the public to explore the unique history of the city. Through the stories of men and women who witnessed these events, visitors are immersed in the daily lives of soldiers as well as civilians during wartime. A collection of unique objects! The displayed items, carefully selected from the 5,000 objects in the military history collection of the City of Mons, spark curiosity and provoke thought.
The permanent exhibition of the Mons Memorial Museum is interspersed with various testimonies that serve as the guiding thread of the visit. Letters, notebooks, and interviews bring the displayed objects to life, offering a sensitive perspective on the events covered. British, American, Canadian, and Belgian testimonies are presented alongside German accounts, adding depth to the international events showcased in the museum.

As a person with Attention Deficit Disorder, I find it hard to focus in a museum. This was different! I found it engaging and open to all with three languages on the exhibits. It is nicely laid out and easy to follow One thing not to miss. The exhibition of "50 years of political posters." Very powerful and thought provoking. But I have to praise the staff. Very polite and helpful and can speak English, which with my woeful French, was very welcome. Try not to bring bags with you, but there are lockers (1€ returnable) to stash your stuff. Don't come to Mons and miss this gem 💎

A relatively small museum but very well put together. Some very interesting and in some cases poignant artifacts. If you're interested in WW1 and WW2 history, I would highly recommend a visit. Not really geared up for younger children. Entry fee is reasonable.
