The Wellington Museum
The Wellington Museum in Waterloo occupies a former Brabant coaching inn. Its geographical situation and the services which it offered enabled it to accommodate a large army staff. This was why on 17 June 1815 it was chosen as the headquarters of the Duke of Wellington, commander in chief of the allied armies facing the French forces under Napoleon.
The Duke stayed at this inn on 17 and 18 June 1815. This was where, on the evening of the battle, he wrote the victory report on the campaign table.
The museum is in three parts:
Seniors Cultural Service
Under the responsibility of Dominique Ferier-Jans and Yves Vander Cruysen, the service organises entertainment, information and permanent education for senior citizens (aged 60 and over).
Every year, it provides the 4,000 or so senior citizens with a programme of activities in Waterloo and further afield, as well as an academic year of 8 lectures (Waterloo's UCL/ULB inter-university unit)
