The museum offers a good insight into soldiers' lives during World War I. Using an augmented reality helmet, visitors can travel through the underground citadel. Admission is €16 per person (as of October 2025). However, for background information, it is recommended to visit the Verdun Memorial beforehand.

The Ossuary of Douaumont is an impressive memorial that holds the remains of more than 130,000 unknown French and German soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The bones are visible through small windows in the base – a confronting reminder of the horrors of war. In front of the ossuary is the Nécropole nationale de Douaumont, the largest French military cemetery of the First World War, with 16,142 graves, including a Muslim and Jewish plot. The complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.

The Mémorial de Verdun, located near the ruined village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont, is a leading museum and commemoration site for the Battle of Verdun (1916). The museum displays more than 2,000 objects and uses authentic objects, photographs and audiovisual installations to show how French and German soldiers experienced this battle – in the exact same place where they fought.

This monument was built in 1929 in the city centre. The 73 steps lead to a crypt where the names of the soldiers were recorded in the Verdun Medal. Above the 30-metre high tower is a tower that leads east and back east. This monument is a permanent feature of the city. Beneath the warrior's feet is a crypt that is accessible to the public. From there, a soldier can search or go to the Mediterranean (from April to November). On 1 November, a ceremony was held at the Victory Monument to welcome the Holy Land under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This ceremony is a reflection of the sacrifices of the warlords and the desire of the incredible soldier. The anonymous soldier was killed on 10 November 1920 in the underground citadel of Verdun.
