Very good layout in the museum, taking you through each year of WW1 , exhibits of uniforms, weapons and posters all translated in different languages with interactive tablets. Two short films are also available, one about the events leading up to the outbreak of war and one covering the battle of the Somme.

Very nice staff and very clean. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area. The way everything is displayed is amazing.

Fabulous museum, sets the war within its political and social context, lots of very evocative and interesting images and artifacts. Sections on the history of castle and Australians part in fighting in the licality also well presented. No cafe but spaces to sit inside and out if you take a packed lunch.

Fantastic place to visit, some amazing exhibits, and there is also an interactive app, that really helps.
My only issue is that it felt more like an art gallery than a museum, a little bit to neat...

Fantastic museum at Peronne. It's well worth visiting.
Really informative exhibits, and a few bits and pieces can be touched and encouraged to try on, like helmets & body armour.
I'd recommend buying a joint ticket with the Thiepval Museum as it is a lot cheaper to get them together; they also offer a discount for service personnel or veterans.
There is a free car park outside and many restaurants on the main square just in front of the main entrance.

Superb museum with an excellent overview of the war. It’s factual and you can get in-depth information. Those looking to be merely entertained may find the subject matter too demanding. Best they stay home. Virtually everything is labelled in many languages, including English.

An excellent adventure into the minds and lives of those who fought in and lived through the great war. Also, comparing the recruitment strategies used in their desperation to the American recruitment strategies was very enlightening and a bit funny.
The Dix collection is a must-see: it privides a raw, heart-rending venture into the tormented mind of a brave soul who fought both enemies internally and externally. I am truly grateful to have experienced this. (Out of respect, I did not take pictures, plus I may have been a little rattled).
