« The Price of Bravery » Museum
On June 15, 1815, the Duke of Wellington decided to establish his field hospital at The Mont Saint Jean Farm. During and after the Battle of Waterloo, nearly 6,000 soldiers were treated here.
This former hospital, barely sanitized, is now a museum: « The Price of Bravery » . Come and discover the work of surgeons in wartime, the surgical instruments used, weapons, uniforms, ammunition… with an impressive recontextualization of the facts. Testimonies and illustrations of the work of Scottish surgeon Charles Bell, who was on the scene in June 1815, are also on display.
