Museum 14-18 Meuse-Argonne

Through the years we have built up a most impressive private museum, largely dedicated to the AEF: a number of the artefacts in it were found on the local battlefields. Located in an old 1920s dance hall of 200 square metres,it holds an in-door trench, a large display dedicated to  the medical services, several diorama’s, a large collection of American head wear, an American General Service wagon and a German bunker, amongst many other things.
