In Flanders Field Museum, the heritage attraction examining the events of World War One (WWI), has reopened its doors in Ypres, Belgium, following an extensive renovation and expansion.
The 5,000sq m (53,819sq ft) museum is housed in the town's iconic Cloth Hall and its redesign has been led by Brussels-based design practice noAarchitecten.
A new WWI research centre has been created at In Flanders Fields Museum, which itself is 50 per cent larger following the expansion. New education spaces have also been established.
In order to offer a more "intense" visitor experience, multimedia exhibits have been used to explore general and military viewpoints of the conflict.
Among those involved were Tijdsbeeld and PieceMontée; Bruns; film-makers Klaus Verscheure and Filip Martin; and UK-based band tindersticks, which has produced a soundtrack for the attraction.
Birger Stichelbaut's aerial photography research led to the creation of the In Flanders Earth application, while Kiss the Frog worked on the computer elements.
A spokesperson for the museum said: "The necessary expansion of the museum was seized on as an opportunity to entirely renew the content of the new permanent exhibition."
