Discover a territorial experiment. Experience the fascinating history of Neutral Moresnet, a small area with coveted mineral resources: calamine has been mined there for centuries. The production of zinc, a new material of the 19th century, takes it into an industrial dimension. The museum presents this adventure in the Vieille-Montagne management building, which dominates the former mining site.

This is a site ( massacre of US Army POWs at the Crossroads nearby ) of historical importance to show how the situation can have a decisive impact on individual soldiers. Visiting the memorial site and the museum is a must see for every interested person in the Battle of the Ardennes. Fantastic collection of historical correct uniforms and equipment and very wel displayed. The audio system works splendid and is even overwhelming in its information in so far it can become to much. The uniformed mannequins, the equipment, armory, information, rewards, badges,.... highly informative. A MUST SEE!!! Friendly staff, top location, up to date and a small cafetaria in annexe. Don't forget to visit also LA GLAIZE museum with the kings tiger tank ( Königstiger Panzer ). Remember the hardship these men went through in the frostbite of the winter 1944 into 1945. So many got maimed, prisoner of war or lost their live. Respect

The climb towards the ruins is pretty high over a cobblestone path. But when you're there it's so worth it. You can walk around, thru and over the ruins. They wil give you a paper with information.. al over the ruins are numbers that correspondent to a number on the paper, where you can find info about that part. Al the way in the front is a little museum, with a lot of stuff that they found in the well of the castle. Overal, its a pretty climb to get up there.. But so worth it

For the first time in Europe, a museum stretches out over 30 hectares. It is not simply restricted to one single building containing archaeological collections but rather is spread out in the forest, marked out by unique experiences, each one opening a different door on the past. It is you who creates your path, your own travel diary through time and space. The Prehistomuseum is: 1 classified cave 2 permanent exhibitions 2 temporary exhibitions per year 9 outdoor experiences 12 practical workshops 1 archeorestaurant 1 plain of mammoth games 8km of forest walks 1 attractive shop 1 auditorium with 170 seats Series of lectures 1 training and research centre 1 presentation area for companies The original and offbeat 30 hectare museum for the whole family.

I went with my toddler and baby for the activities during Christmas, and we loved it. The highlight was the visit to the dark cave. He did it twice. All the staff were very friendly and Santa was great with his stories and Q&A :) The only negative thing is that it was very hard to take the baby stroller to the cave and Santa’s place because a few parts were very muddy. Also, there were parts with gravel and the stroller was stuck. A few notes to parents: - if you have a baby with your toddler, you need to be two adults, one to stay with the baby outside so you can visit the cave with your toddler (mandatory to accompany the child) - in winter, the child should wear rubber boots because a few parts are muddy and slippery. - the place has a baby changer and stools for kids to reach the sinks. - the staff were very kind and allowed me to use a chair in their meeting room to nurse my baby.

The new museum course invites you to a discovery of life in Wallonia from the 19th century till the present. A sophisticated scenography depicts objects and archival material and mixes ancient and contemporary elements. The five themes we encounter focus on Walloon society, people, ideas, and know-how... Lots of discoveries, emotions and surprises!
