This memorial depicts the events of the famous battle that led to the defeat of Emperor Napoleon in 1815, and is a true tribute to the 40,000 soldiers killed or wounded during the fights.
The memorial, with a surface area of 1500m², allows the visitor to live the history of the battle through dioramas, uniforms, historical objects, animated maps, a movie projected on a 25 m wide 3D panoramic screen, a treasure hunt and multimedia animations.
It also presents the skeleton of the "Waterloo Soldier", discovered in 2012 during an archaeological investigation on the site of a new parking lot, and which probably belonged to a Hanoverian who died during the battle.

Starting October 11 (2025), there will be an exhibition called "The Legend of Napoleon in Lego Bricks." Perfect for the autumn holidays, but not included in the standard ticket for the museum (and panorama and the hill). More information at waterloo1815.be/nl/expo-legende-napoleon
