Bocage Posted August 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2011 (1) Baugnez '44 Historical center (2) BAUGNEZ 44 HISTORICAL CENTER, Route de Luxembourg, 10, B- 4960 Malmedy, BELGIUM. See: Access map / location of museum (3) e-mailadress (4) unknown to me (5) http://www.baugnez44.be/ I visited in 2009 and was impressed with the way the museum exhibits the many artefacts from WW2. From small personal belongings via patches, helmets, weapons to small vehicles, films, photo's and document, scale diorama's and larger groups - and rooms were you can experience some of the horrors that happened at the Baugnez crossroads via film and audio. There's an audiotour through the museum and there is a nice museum shop with collectibles, books and souvenirs. As far as I am concerned a 'must-do' when you are visiting the Ardennes-area. And being dutch, I am not prejudiced ;-) Malmedy is a great nearby place to visit, too. Here are some photo's. If you have further questions about this museum you can always PM.

gwb123 Posted August 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2011 Some of the best WWII museums are in the area of the Battle of the Bulge. I am consistently amazed at what turns up around there. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeper704 Posted August 25, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 25, 2011 Better than Diekirch? Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posse Posted August 26, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 26, 2011 Better than Diekirch? Erwin If you look at the quality of displaying the items... YES! Don't get me wrong, I do think Diekirch is a beautiful museum, but the displays there can't beat the more modern way of displaying items like in Baugnez. If you haven't been there Erwin, just take the time to visit Baugnez (and the historical surroundings): I'm pretty sure you'll like it! rgds Bart P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruntdoc Posted March 18, 2012 Share #24 Posted March 18, 2012 First, I'll echo the accolades for this place, definitely a must-see. I thought I'd add a few of my own pics to the thread, I hope you don't mind. Just an FYI, I'm into helmets and was a medic so that may be reflected in my choice of subjects...
