Wellington Museum, Military history museum in Waterloo, Belgium

The Wellington Museum is a military history museum housed in a former inn, displaying collections of weapons, uniforms, and personal objects from the period around 1815. The rooms present objects from various nations involved in the battle and document this historical moment in detail.

The Duke of Wellington used this building as his headquarters on June 17, 1815, and wrote his victory report after defeating Napoleon's forces there. The house became a symbol of British command during this pivotal battle.

The museum displays rooms dedicated to nations that fought in the battle, with military equipment, medals, and artwork from the period. Visitors see how different countries remembered their role and losses in this conflict.

The museum offers guided tours in several languages and provides special arrangements for groups and school visits. Visitors should allow enough time to explore all the rooms and collections thoroughly.

The museum's collection includes the artificial leg of Lord Uxbridge, whose right knee was hit by a cannonball during the battle and whose leg was amputated. The prosthesis is displayed among weapons, flags and a model of the Lion's Mound.
