When did the First World War really end? How many new countries appeared on the map then? What was the everyday life of Europeans like in the post-war years? Do the events of a hundred years ago somehow reflect the current situation in the world? These and other questions are answered by the outdoor exhibition

The expo is curated by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, which invited the In Flanders Fields Museum to contribute.
Over 200 archive and multimedia materials and individual stories of those who lived then, present a complex yet coherent picture of a New Europe after the First World War (1914–1918). The main goal of the display is to illustrate the scale of the political changes and their impact on current politics as well as to reveal different national memories. The exhibition aims to present well-documented facts in an original and refreshing way by highlighting their mutual connections and weaving them into one narrative, considering multiple perspectives.

This outdoor exhibition in front of the Ypres' Cloth Hall, is free to visit.
