Wellington Museum, Military history museum in Waterloo, Belgium
The Wellington Museum occupies a former inn where visitors discover collections of military artifacts, weapons, and personal items from the 1815 battle period.
Duke Wellington established his headquarters in this building on June 17, 1815, and wrote his victory dispatch after defeating Napoleon's forces.
The museum contains rooms dedicated to different nations involved in the battle, presenting military equipment, medals, and contemporary artworks from each country.
Guided tours in multiple languages take visitors through the exhibitions, with special rates available for groups and educational institutions.
The second floor displays the original bed where Sir Alexander Gordon spent his final moments after receiving mortal wounds during the Battle of Waterloo.
