If you go to any museum in Belgium, go to this one. It was very moving and told the story of the First World War in a sensitive, informative and accessible way. It gave insight into the experience of soldiers and civilians from all sides of the conflict (Belgian, French, British, German and beyond). I went with my two children (11 and 13) and they loved it. It is the best museum I have ever been too (and at 53 years old that's a lot of museums).
Very informative and interesting museum lots to see so make sure you have at least an hour
