The building that houses this museum, Ypres's Cloth House, was almost flattened under bombardment and has been reconstructed since.  The layout of the museum offers both personal stories of the conflict, via recordings or video and written text, the history of the Great War, an examination of different aspects of warfare, the art and literature of the soldier artists, as well as an interesting section covering the city's destruction and rebuilding, centred around the story of the Cloth House building.
