D-DAY MEMORY TOUR

BASTOGNE
MUSEUM
Located just a stone's throw from the famous
Mardasson Memorial, the Bastogne War
Museum represents a new way to remember the past,
specifically devoted to the Second World War in
Belgium. We are offered a fresh perception in a
modern and interactive framework of the causes,
events and consequences of World War II through the
lens of the Ardennes Counteroffensive – the “Battle of
the Bulge”. The Bastogne War Museum covers the
Second World War, from its origins up to autumn 1944,
and then focuses on the Battle of the Bulge.
Key events of the war
and the combatants'
ordeal are reproduced
here with the aim of
clarifying the broad
sweep of its history. The
centre provides a very
clear picture of how the
civilians lived during the
occupation, during the
battle itself, and
afterwards.
The many consequences of what was probably one of the most serious battles in world history are very clearly
described.Housed in a brand-new building displaying an adventurous architectural concept, the Bastogne War
Museum is located on the former Bastogne Historical Centre site. The original set design of this commemorative
centre is the latest in modernity. The new journey through the museum is dotted with flashbacks, genuine multisensory,
three-dimensional scenes in a completely new format.
