During the Great War, the region of Mons was the scene of major events. This is where the British soldiers experienced their first battles, in August 1914. After more than four years of deadly war, the Commonwealth troops also made their mark in the region, releasing the occupied population from the German yoke. The Canadian soldier, George Price, lost his life on November 11, 1918 at 10.58am. The permanent exhibition at Mons Memorial Museum invites you to dive into the daily lives of these men and women, civil or military who went through these tragic events. Mons Memorial Museum, with a surface of over 3000 m², is a place of reflection and debate that also allows you to discover the daily life of the Belgian population during the Second World War. By regularly proposing temporary exhibitions, the museum prompts you to ask questions about our society, mixing History and Memory.

Très beau musée portant sur les batailles des 1ere et seconde guerre dans la région de Mons. Ce musée met particulièrement l accent sur l événement des Anges de Mons en 1914 et la renommée que ce dernier au sein de la culture britannique.

Je suis allée au Mons Memorial Museum 🏛️ ce weekend et j'ai été vraiment impressionné ! L'exposition est super intéressante et interactive, j'ai appris plein de choses. Vraiment touchant et poignant, ça fait réfléchir. Je recommande vivement la visite si vous êtes dans le coin 👍.

Extremely interesting war museum that focuses on Mons, but gives a lot of more general insights generally on the two world wars. When we visited they had a very nice temporary exhibition on rumours and war propaganda (the famous story of St George the angels at the battle of Mons).

Ein relativ kleines Museum für so eine relativ große Stadt. Jedoch wird man hier nicht enttäuscht. Das Museum konzentriert sich hauptsächlich um Mons und Umgebung. Es behandelt die 2 Weltkriege und kurz den Koalitionskrieg. Genauer die Schlacht von Jemappes von 1792. Die Ausstellungsstücke sind sehr interessant und super in Szene gestellt. Einen Besuch war das Museum Wert.
