What people say
Yesterday, my father and I visited the For Freedom Museum. It was one of the best museums we've ever visited!
The staff provided an excellent welcome and provided very clear explanations of what was on display in the museum. All the events surrounding Operation Switchback and other periods of WWII in West Flanders were presented clearly and professionally. The historical events were presented clearly and concisely, and carefully explained with great attention to detail.
We will definitely visit this wonderful museum again.
