A newly assembled collection

The Yper Museum opened its doors in 2018. However, the collections managed by the museum have a much longer history.

The historically formed collections are those of the Stedelijk Museum, the Onderwijsmuseum and the Belle Godshuis. Today, these come together in the “Yper Museum Collection”, which continues to grow. The history of each of these collections has an impact on the collection profile of the Yper Museum. Discover the history of the collections below.
