iain mchenry Posted 15 March , 2004 Share Posted 15 March , 2004 Petrick, I spoke to Franky Bostyn at length about the new museum a few months ago and it sounds very interesting. I look forward to visiting it on my next trip to Ypres. Good luck with the opening. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 17 March , 2004 Share Posted 17 March , 2004 Does anyone have a contact email address for the new museum? The website (www.passchendaele.be) doesn't work yet - it's just a holding page waiting for stuff to be uploaded. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Carter Posted 17 March , 2004 Share Posted 17 March , 2004 I am part of a coach tour, to Ypres, the weekend the new museum is to open. However, I believe the organisor of our tour has arranged for us to have a private visit of this museum, before it is open to the public. Which sounds interesting. So I will hopefully put some piccies of the place on the forum. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
