Caillou Museum, Military museum in Genappe, Belgium

The Caillou Museum features exhibitions of Napoleonic artifacts, weapons, and military equipment in a renovated farmhouse from the 18th century.

Napoleon established his final headquarters at this location on June 17, 1815, the night before the Battle of Waterloo against the Allied forces.

The museum contains five exhibition rooms displaying medals, archives, models, and slideshows illustrating the 1815 Belgian campaign.

The museum, located at Chaussée de Bruxelles 66 in Vieux-Genappe, offers wheelchair access, parking facilities, and audio guides in multiple languages.

The museum garden features a brick ossuary built in 1912 to store human remains discovered in the surrounding battlefields.
