The renewed Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 (MMP1917) opened its doors in April 2004 and became a nationally recognised museum in 2008. Furthermore, that year it won the Public Prize, a part of the Museum Prize awarded by the Linklater law firm and the ‘Openbaar Kunstbezit Vlaanderen’ (Flanders Public Art) magazine. The definitive protected status of the chateau buildings followed in 2011, after which restoration could begin. With the prospect of the hundred-year commemoration of the First World War, the museum trail was simultaneously expanded. To realise a better connection between the outside section and the existing museum, the MMP1917 extended the dugout with a new, underground museum building. The current route, which is more than 600 meters long, displays an extensive collection of objects and impressive photographs. In meticulously replicated trenches, the visitors can imagine themselves in the First World War and an authentic American ‘emergency house’ tells the tale of the relief and reconstruction.
