Jahrbuch 2013

Since 2013 the In Flanders Fields Museum looks back annually on its past activities in a beautifully published yearbook. The book contains, among other things, a complete list of all donations. It also includes guest contributions from authors who have explored a certain theme through their own research or in collaboration with the museum.
