Bastogne War Museum

The Bastogne Historical Center displays extensive collections of World War II artifacts, military equipment, uniforms, and documentary photographs across multiple exhibition halls.

The museum occupies a former officers' mess building that served as a German headquarters from May 1940 until September 1944 during World War II.

The center presents the intersecting narratives of four individuals - an American soldier, German lieutenant, Belgian teacher, and local schoolboy - during the Battle of Bastogne.

The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, with detailed audio guides available for visitors to explore the exhibitions at their own pace.

Visitors experience a simulation of the December 24, 1944 Luftwaffe bombardment through advanced multimedia installations that recreate the intense atmosphere of wartime Bastogne.
