        After years of good thinking and planning the Verdun community gathered all real special items and stories to give the most complete I look of what happened. This museum wil give you the goosebumps. Closer to this war you'll not come.

            The museum is part of the many memorials around Verdun. Cannot be rated highly enough as a memorial and reminder.

              The museum is one of many memorials around Verdun. We visited several bunkers, the ossuary and the museum in a round of about 20 km. Was also very interesting for our son (13 years old) and better than any history lesson.

                You should plan 1.5-2 hours for the visit, there is a lot to see and hear. Open until 6:30 p.m. mid-April to September, otherwise until 5:30 p.m. Can be easily combined on a hike with the Verdun Ossuary and possibly the Fort Dueaumont.

                  As a memorial to the many war dead, such memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the unbelievably large number of people whose fate is commemorated here did not separate in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
                  Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have, and this for each generation anew, two essential, everlasting functions:
                  -1- Commemorate and remember the victims
                  -2- Remind to keep the peace

                    The Verdun Memorial is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and admission is €14 per person (as of October 2025).
                    It's highly recommended for learning about World War I in Verdun and understanding the soldiers' situation! Plan 2-3 hours for your visit.
