Hooge Museum is sited next to Hooge Crater in the Ypres Salient. Click here to read information related to Hooge's role during the First World War.

Under private ownership this modern, clean museum contains an outstanding collection of WW1 memorabilia, including armour, equipment, uniforms and artefacts - and even wooden posts originally located at Hellfire Corner.

The museum includes two full-size dummies of mounted cavalrymen.

Opposite both Hooge Crater and the Museum is Hooge Crater cemetery.
