The MMM is a space dedicated to reflection, reverence and interaction with the past. Above all it’s a venue dedicated to the two world wars where people of all generations come meet in a place that stood right in the heart of the action in a region heavily marked by these historic events that turned the 20th century upside down.
The Mons Memorial Museum invites visitors of all ages to question the multiple complex realities of the phenomena of war. Through the fates of the men and women who witnessed events, visitors are immersed in the day-to-day lives of soldiers and civilians in times of peace, of war and of occupation.
The exhibits on display, selected from the 5,000 included in the military history collections belonging to the City of Mons, ask some fundamental questions about the relationship between the civilian and military population. These questions come to life in an experience that will guide visitors from the middle ages, through the “Ancien Régime”, right up to the two World Wars.
A Sherman Tank has also recently taken up residence on the Esplanade Dolez, opposite the Mons Memorial Museum. This vehicle, so symbolic of the liberation of our region, will be permanently housed in Mons to remind us of this important period in history.
