BRUN MAYRON

Off the beaten track but well worth a visit, telling the story of the tank corp and the excavation of Deborah a WW1 tank, very interesting great final picture of a number of officers after pachendale with a great ending

Wonderful little museum, definitely worth the trip and the €6 entry fee! Skip the big museums and go here instead. The museum tells the story of D51 Deborah, the tank pictured here, which makes up the main room. The display is stunningly lit and preserved, the best preserved WWI tank in existence. You can still smell the fuel and see oil dripping from the engine onto the museum floor. Definitely the most tactile experience of WWI I've had in a museum. There are three films to watch about the history history of the area, the battle, and the discovery and excavation of this tank and plenty of space to sit if you are with a tour group. There are also interactive displays with broken off parts of the tank and scale models of battles and tanks. There are also detailed profiles of the crew of Deborah, with photos and artefacts from their time at war. Some of the crew are buried in the graveyard above the museum, it's well worth the 5 minute walk up there and through the peace gardens to visit. The graves are III B8 and III B9, if you would like to find them quicker than we did!

A really good, highly informative little museum. Opening hours are limited so check before going but highly recommended.

The guardian kindly agreed to open up the museum out of normal for our group, which was much appreciated. Very interesting site with good graphics and exhibits. Well worth a visit.

A must visit if you are in the region. First heard about this when researching my family’s involvement in both the Great War and WW2 and so really wanted to visit.

Great little museum dedicated to the WW1 British tank ‘Deborah’. This tank was relatively recently discovered and is nicely displayed here together with the story of its service in the Battle of Cambrai and its subsequent discovery and preservation.

Only one exhibit in the museum, a beautiful piece of history. 100% worth visiting. Great audio visual displays to explain the history of the tank. The passion that rescued this tank from it's grave is real.

A little costly but an authentic WW1 tank is hard to find. A nice small museum with artifacts, posters in Fr./Eng. and of course the tank which you can get up close to. A quick stop that is worth it if you are into the history.
