Wings of Liberation Museum, Military museum in Best, Netherlands.
The Wings of Liberation Museum displays aircraft, vehicles, and weapons from World War II set in a woodland setting. The collection documents the liberation of the Netherlands with original equipment and supporting materials.
The site was a landing zone for American paratroopers on September 17, 1944, during Operation Market Garden. This event made the location central to this major military campaign in Western Europe.
The exhibition tells stories of Dutch and allied soldiers and civilians whose lives changed during the war. Visitors see personal items and photographs showing how people lived during that time.
The museum sits on a wooded site and requires sturdy footwear to explore the outdoor displays. Planned visits with family should allow time for both the indoor and outdoor areas.
Many visitors overlook that the museum preserves aircraft wreckage recovered immediately after combat operations. These restored machines show the actual battle damage from fighting.
