Museum exhibiting photographs, grenades, shells of all sizes, gas masks, machine guns, helmets.
Dedicated to the Battle of the Somme, the Somme 1916 Museum is a former air raid shelter built by the Albert Town Council in 1932. With its 250 m long tunnel (and 2 m wide), it could shelter up to 15 000 people. There are now about fifteen display cases showing photographs, grenades, shells of all sizes, gas masks, machine guns, bayonets, helmets and handicrafts, all of which bear witness to the life of the soldiers in the trenches. An unmissable visit of memory in Albert.

La vie du poilu y est bien reconstitué. On peut même avoir un aperçu des sensations que les soldats ont pu ressentir quand on est sous terre dans le noir avec des bruits d'obus assourdissants et des éclairs pour seule lumière! Impressionnant! A faire absolument!
le lieu est agréablement choisi puisqu' il se situe sous la basilique
