What To Expect
Musee 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

5.00An excellent WW1 museum for only €7, absolutely packed with exhibits. Really good value and would highly reccomend it.
Incredible artifacts and stories

5.00It doesn’t look like much in the entryway, but down below is an INCREDIBLE set of displays with a ton of real WWI artifacts. We felt like this museum let you get up close to WWI to a degree that is moving and at times disturbing (medical room, the room showing rats, etc.). Impressive displays of mortars, all manner of guns, personal effects, and random stuff from the actual people and sites. Absolutely a must-see for anyone wanting to dive into WWI.
no regrets

4.00Definitely worth visiting to learn more about the WW1 battles. We were doing a tour of the battlefields and memorials and found this a good introduction. There were English translations. The only issue we had was the section at the end with flashing lights and gunfire sounds. Epilepsy trigger for my family member. There is a warning but to avoid it you need to retrace completely and go back out the entrance. There should be a way to turn this off so people can go out through the exit. There are staff just on the other side so they could have a way to do this.
to do absolutely awesome

4.00Interesting lots of things to see. Lots of reading but some interactive actions, the shop at the end. On the other hand the exit through the gardens do not overlook the museum entrance. Garden to visit it is beautiful
Great WW1 museum to tell story on battle and see artifacts

4.00We had an interesting time at the museum. It does a good job of putting the battle of Somme in context of WW1, telling the story of the battle and show a lot of artifacts from both sides. Being avid players of WW1 Battlefront it was interesting to see lots of the weapons. Still the exhibition did also tell about all the terror of the war and the many casualties.
A first class introduction to WW1
