Backtheattack Posted June 28, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2013 The new form looks great. Was there 4 years ago and visited the now "old" exhibition. Like the puppets in the new one. It seems some european museums are now back with new style, for instance the airborne museum at the Hartenstein Hotel at Arnhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Willaert Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted August 30, 2013 Spent hours in there yesterday and the quality of the items on display along with the manner is which everything is organised is absolutely mindblowing!!! Being picky, I would suggest some more text describing the displays to the average visitor, but IMO this museum now ranks at the top of the museum list!! Congrats to the curators/owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtheattack Posted October 25, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 25, 2013 You need in the "old" museum a lot of time to notice all the items on display, and you need it now again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn92 Posted July 17, 2014 Share #9 Posted July 17, 2014 I visited the museum two weeks ago and was highly impressed. It is a nice, clean, modern museum with outstanding displays. We drove from Luxembourg, which in itself is a lot of fun. It's beautiful terrain and you can feel all of the history around you. I highly recommend a visit if you're ever nearby.

Longhorn92 Posted July 20, 2014 Share #12 Posted July 20, 2014 Great picture of the Tiger II. Looks much more dramatic in winter time. I wish we could've spent more time exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtheattack Posted October 19, 2014 Share #14 Posted October 19, 2014 The Tiger II tank there has it`s own history, saved from a salvage with a bottle of cognac, the destroyed barrel of the tank was later finished with a barrel from a Panther tank together with another Panther guns muzzle break.
