You could see what they were thinking, they were back in time.

At that moment, the first thing that crosses your mind: "Well, this is it." Up ahead, the old factory building can be noticed.

The contrast to what we see over there is huge, when we compare it to the Dutch museums. When you enter the museum compound, you don't know what you see. A small part of the collection is dedicated to World War I. The second part of the museum occupies on the history of the army of Luxembourg throughout the centuries, until the UN missions nowadays. The collection has a couple of large diorama's which represent the actions that happened in that period.Īround those diorama's, you can find pictures, weapons, vehicles, dummies etc. The main part of the collection is about the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945.
