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.

Highly recommended museum. It's very illustrative of Belgian history. Everyone should visit it so we don't repeat the same mistakes.
Mooi om te zien en goedkope entree. Tekst staat er in 4 talen, Frans, Engels, Duits en Nederlands. Tentoonstelling en het verhaal is goed te volgen en uitgebreid. Bezoek duur tussen 1 en 2 uur ongeveer. Er is ook vaak een tijdelijke expositie, deze is bij de prijs inbegrepen.
Zeer mooi ingericht met behulpzame en zeer vriendelijk onthaal en uitleg. Wel niet zo heel groot
Un endroit qui faut absolument visiter
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.
