Hooge Crater Museum (iii)

German Great War memorabilia in Hooge Crater Museum. In my own Great War collection I have a mug similar to one shown here:-
Trench Art including inkwells in the shape of Renault tanks:-
British Great War memorabilia (above) and German (below.) Again I have some of the featured British items in my own collection:-
More trench art, Renault tank inkwells with poilus’ helmets:-
Trench art cabinet:-
More trench art:-
Mock-up of British dugout:-
If you are ever in Ypres/Ieper I would recommend a visit to Hooge Crater Museum as well as to In Flanders Fields Museum.

It’s well worth a visit. It’s the most jam-packed museum I’ve ever been in and it’s all very interesting.

Katrina,
Jam-packed and then some. And no “interactive” nonsense. The film footage of “Hellfire Corner” on the Menin Road was informative too.
