SCICOLONE MAURIZIO

Interesting museum, lots of information and pictures of the Fort in the past. All information written in French but audio headsets are provided in the reception which supply English (and I think a couple other languages) translations for each of the panels. It is fairly small on the inside but there is an outside area to walk around also where you can see the dunes. Would have been nice for some of the inside to have been presented how it would have been when the fort was in use. There is a joint ticket for €10 where you can visit here and the Operation Dynamo museum which is worth the price.

Very good place to visit extremely interesting

Self guided audio tour is both informative & thought provoking, particularly the stories of local citizens who perished during the war, well worth your time to listen to their stories and reflect upon how lucky we are.

The museum is nicely designed and feels modern, but unfortunately we did not find it very engaging. Some of the installations felt overly complicated, and everything is presented only in French. Although an english audio guide is provided, it would take many hours to listen to everything. It would be much better if there were short English descriptions alongside the French text—at least basic captions for the photos explaining the time period and what is happening. Since there were no English explanations at all, it made the visit less enjoyable for us.

Small museum telling the history of Fort des Dunes, a large fort set behind the dunes to the east of Dunkirk. There's a small car park just off the main road, adjacent to the football pitches. A short walk up from the car park leads into the fort and to the museum, which was opened in 2010. When we arrived at the end of September 2024 the entrance fee of €7 was waived. In reception you're given an audio device so that you can learn about the fort's history, including the many executions carried out during the second world war. The museum is small yet very informative and probably represents a very small section of the overall fort that over the decades since WWII has fallen into disrepair, very overgrown in parts. Hopefully more of the fort can be saved and opened for future generations and be opened to the public. The car park was free. There are public toilets inside the fort, some seating with tables but no café. There are two vending machines for dispensing drinks and snacks. The staff were friendly and helpful. Level 9 Google reviewer; 1,000 plus reviews with nearly 2 million views and over 12,000 photos with over 55 million views and still going strong 💪. Check out my other reviews 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.

This was a very well prepared museum about the history of the Fort des Dunes from its beginnings in 1871 until the end of WWII. Included in the entry fee are interpreters in a number of languages. We found it extremely helpful as English speakers. A bonus was the moving short movie. The walk around outside gives added perspective. If in Dunkerque, do visit. Worth the 7.50 euro cost of entry.

Was absolutely amazing here and alot of good history. The staff member at the end when I brought some stuff and magnets she was lovely and had a lovely laugh. Keep up all the good work

It was an honor and privilege to visit the Fort on the 85th Anniversary of such an important event of WWII. Thank you to all who put together this exhibit and all the information!
