Excellent museum with audio visual and actual exhibits of the battle of the Somme. The museum is in Albert is close to the front line and is next the Basilica which was raised to the ground before and after the battle. Very informative with English French ab German translations. The museum is built in an underground tunnel which gives an eerie feel but adds to it overall delivery. We’ll worth a visit as a starting point any SOMME tour as it sets the scene well and gives great context

Very interesting place to visit if you want to know more about WW1. Very good if you are in a group or just on your own. Lots of information throughout the walk and real life artifacts from WW1. Different displays and information on what it was like during the war. Once you finish walking under ground you then finish in a very good souvenir shop when you get the chance to buy real artefacts from the war. Once you come out of the shop you enter a very tranquil park and you don't realise how far you have walked under the town. If in the area a very top place to visit.

Very interesting and unique underground museum. There is a lot of information (most of it available in English and German as well) to accompany artifacts from the war. The tunnels lead to a little gift shop and a very nicely maintained park. I learned a lot and highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Very nice. If you want to get a feel for what took place around the Great War, this is a good place to visit. It’s built in an old air-raid shelter, a large under ground tunnel. This means that the place where you enter the museum is not the same as where you exit. So take note of where you park!

This place has so much information it's amazing. Places like this really should be a must go to, if u have any interest in the carnage of the first world war. Even to this day more money must be spent on ways to destroy life, rather than preserving it. The lady at the front desk was incredibly helpful, speaking brilliant English. Well worth the trip.

If you need to gain an understanding of the conditions humans waged war across France from 1914 to 1918, this is your first point to start. The entrance is a nondescript plain door squat beside the basilica, there is free parking nearby next the church, the foyer is tiny by museum standards, guarded by mounted cavalry, ranks of soldiers from regiments local and far flung. Canadians, South Africans, Australian, New Zealand, Algerian, French, German with British. On display are ranks of brass shell cases reworked into mundane or exotic vases, umbrella stands maybe works of art created from violence. The museum is a long tunnel underground reached from a flight of brick stairs. Case after case house the rusted war bric a brac parts of rifles, caltrop (vicious four way spikes designed to maim horses or foot soldiers) water canteens, parts of helmets. The story of the campaign local on the Somme or nearby focus on the regiments, tactics and technology used by the different forces, numerous oiled rifles, French, British, American. Bullets, machines guns; trench construction, living conditions. Finally a gruesome run-through tunnel the loud sounds explosions of war you'll not wander along but run for your life.

Must visit for history/WWI lovers!! Great collection and reconstruction of the horrible trench war. Three recommendations: 1) remove the 3D, just show normal 2D. 2) show movie in french, but add english subtitle, so you don't have to wait for 15 mins everytime. 3) sell more souvenirs of tiny action figure soldiers.

Very unique and interesting museum in the centre of Albert. There are some steep stairs to get down to the museum so could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Didn't notice if they had a lift or not. Unusual layout in that it uses the tunnels from WW2 to show all the exhibits. Lots of interesting items to see from the British, French and German armies of The Somme conflict. Very much worth a visit.

Excellent museum located right in the centre of Albert. Lots of exhibits and information from the battle of the Somme and the dioramas give you some idea what conditions were like in the trenches.

Amazing experience staff friendly and informative. It was deeply Moving seeing all the well thought out exhibits and photographs.

Greetings from the netherlands, this museum is great, they have a lot of items from the great war, so a visit takes about 90 minutes. The people are friendly and most of them can speak English. At the end of the museum there is a souvenir shop and a beautiful garden.

Good museum. Well worth visiting. Free car park outside. Unfortunately, no discount is offered for serving soldiers, only for war veterans.

Very interesting experience. The gardens are beautiful, and the souvenirs in the gift shop are quite affordable.

Sehr sehr interessantes Museum über die Schlacht an der Somme. Eintritt 7,50€. In einem Kellergang untergebracht. Sehr informativ.

Sehr interessantes Museum über die Schlachten an der Somme. Sehr viele unterschiedliche Utensilien der verschiedenen Kriegsteilnehmer. Man wird durch einen unterirdischen Tunnel geführt wobei man bei einem Abschnitt eine Simulation von Kriegslärm mit erleben kann um zumindest einen kleinen Eindruck davon zu bekommen was die Soldaten durchmachen mussten

Brilliant underground displays and life-sized dioramas of WWI situations. A lot of relics. Nice options to purchase memorabilia at the end of the tour.

Been in a lot of museums and this beats most of them. Friendly staff too.

Excellent museum, a great introduction to the war. Good exhibits and an emotional finale.

Very nice staff and great museum. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic underground WW1 Museum. A huge range of items on display.

Staff is really friendly and a lot of things you can see specially all the historic pieces donated by locals to the museum. If ypu are interested in the weaponary during WW1

A fascinating museum covering the war at the Somme, housed in underground tunnels

Gosh where do I start, amazing, shocking, scary, it has it all. So touching to see all the artifacts some with bullet holes. Very well.laid out plenty of English titles as well as french. Those poor men who lived and died during that time is fully explained well worth a visit. If you are interested in world war 1 then it's an absolute must

What a great place to honor those who have served. And how quick we are as a human race to forget the turmoil others have been through. Keep Smiling!

Very good. Lots of artifacts, weapons, WWI ephemera. 3D video and "trench shelling tunnel". Friendly and helpful staff.

So walking up this place seemed a bit underwhelming and cheesy. But first impressions are misleading. I really enjoyed the exhibits and probably spent over 2 hours there. It is in an old bomb shelter that stretches underground a few blocks. Well worth a visit! The alley on the other side of the church has parking if you can't find any out front.

Probably the 4th time i have visited here over 25 years. It hasn't changed much and the 3d movie really could do with a refresh and those mannequins! but what a superbly interesting experience. really well curated and what a delight. I see something new every time I go and it a pleasure to introduce others to this special place. With cafes and restaurants on the square it is a good place to have a drink and a think about what you have seen. top marks.
