 Audio guide for the permanent collections and temporary exhibition

An audioguide in four languages (French, English, German and Dutch) is now provided free of charge with the purchase of an individual admission ticket for the museum. 

The guide offers commentaries on the key objects in our collection (uniforms, archives, trench art) and develops the main themes of the exhibition design, which correspond to the different periods in the history of the Great War

The commentaries, accessible to all age groups, have been conceived and read by the historians at the Historial’s internationally recognised Research Centre. The audio guide, which lasts a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes, constitutes an real complement to the museum visit, whether it is used at times or throughout the permanent exhibition.
