Temporary exhibitions
History is also lived in the present
Throughout the seasons, the Plugstreet 14-18 experience interpretation centre hosts temporary exhibitions that explore new perspectives on the Great War, its contemporary resonance, or original themes related to memory.
Photography, historical objects, art installations, immersive stories, interactive experiences…
Each temporary exhibition offers the chance to discover history in a different way: more human, more sensory, more current.
