    Stop atMusee Somme 1916

    The museum is accessible in 4 languages (French- English - German - Dutch). The struggles that took place in the Somme in 1916 were one of the most terrible battles of the First World War. From our entrance hall next to the Basilica, visitors enter a 250 meters long tunnel that is 10 meters below surface. As you leave the tunnel you enter our souvenir shop and ultimately Albert’s town park. Here WW1 scenes in a series of fifteen different alcoves tell the tale of trench warfare in the Somme. We also have 25 display cabinets in which you can study all kinds of WW1 artifacts and weaponry. Sound and light effects add to the experience, taking you back to the time of the Great War. The final part of your visit is the Gallery of Heroes, dedicated to nine individuals who distinguished themselves during the war. The exit of the museum being in the public garden of the city, you will be able to discover the Arboretum where also floes the Ancre river with its cascades. NEW FREE APP

This museum is wonderful . It gives a good interpretation of all aspects of the great war. The shop has lots of memorabilia and gifts.

School trip

We went as a school trip group of 40 students and 4 staff members and we had a great time. The students learnt a lot and found it very interesting.

Great value.

It's reasonably small, but pretty good and great value for money. You walk underground, which gives it an authentic feel. Then you watch a video which sets everything up and also gives you a feel for other places in the area to go and see. You walk through the tunnels, there is a lot of information in several languages, artefacts from the time of all varieties, and recreations of trench scenes. Finally you walk through an experience of lights and noise to recreate the feeling of war - not for the epileptics or nervous. I would recommend heading for the Canada memorial, also the Scottish highlanders memorial, to see some of the trenches 100 years later, as well as Le Grande Mine.

Nice informative museum

Very nice low key museum with a good video and lots of artefacts. It’s set out under the church in a series of tunnels. An hour or so well spent as an introduction to the Somme.

Excellent visit x a must for all
