Geniemuseum

The Geniemuseum is a military engineering museum in Vught that focuses on the history of military engineering work. Its collection includes vehicles, cranes, tractors, and bridge-building equipment displayed in building K of the Van Brederode barracks.

During World War II, the building served as a kitchen facility within the Vught concentration camp. After the war ended, it was converted into exhibition space for engineering equipment and materials.

The place preserves the story of military engineers through photographs, uniforms, and documents that show how techniques changed over time. Visitors can see how soldiers worked in earlier periods and what tools they used for their tasks.

A steel bridge connects the parking area to the museum building, leading visitors directly to the exhibition. The site is easy to walk through and the collections are laid out in a way that is straightforward to explore.

The museum grounds hold specialized military vehicles that were designed specifically for bridge construction and infrastructure work. These rare machines show how engineering was put into practice during field operations.
