Bastogne War Museum

The Bastogne War Museum is the biggest, the oldest and the most known war museum in the Ardennes. A couple of years ago it was rebuild completely and it was given a setting that was much more wanted by the public. The museum reopend in march 2014.
The Bastogne War museum is not only displaying the Battle of the Bulge, it explains the whole world war II, wich might be a bit dissapointing to Battle of the Bulge buffs. Nevertheless, the museum is good for a very wide audience. It is not only looking at war stuff, but you also can experience war yourself.
Special item in this museum is the audio guide, wich is helpfull to understand all the things you see.
Outside the war museum, you will find the impressive Mardasson monument.
