Exactly 100 years after the German invasion of Bruges, the city of Bruges is commemorating the War with three exhibitions.

A historical exhibition titled eAn occupied city in the force fields of global warf, tells the little-known history of a city living under occupation while serving as an operations base for the war at sea. It zooms in on daily life in wartime Bruges and widens the canvas to take in the global dimension of the First World War. Two photography exhibitions titled, eThe timeless power of historical imagesf & eContemporary photographersf gaze on war continue this broader perspective and propel us forward to the present day.
