Museum of Battles

Musée de la Bataille

This museum covers approximately 1,500 m² across three floors and features more than 120 mannequins representing American, British, German, Belgian and even Scottish soldiers in combat gear. You can also discover the "Weapons Room", which contains around 90 rifles, pistols and revolvers, as well as the famous Polish-designed "Enigma" coding machine. The museum has a wide staircase and a lift suitable for wheelchair users. The Battle of the Ardennes Museum is the only war museum in the region with a dedicated British section. Naturally, attention is also given to the American and German troops, with their uniforms and equipment presented in attractive dioramas. However, the main focus is on the role of the British forces in the Allied counter-offensive from 3 to 16 January 1945, and in the liberation of the villages on the left bank of the Ourthe.
