Airborne Museum

The peaceful surroundings of Villa Hartenstein make it hard to imagine its significance during those violent days in September 1944. At the same time, you feel that something historic happened here. The Airborne Museum lets you relive the Battle of Arnhem in many ways. Its collection comprises historical artefacts as well as written and audiovisual source material, while the underground Airborne Experience showcases the war in all its intensity. The fascinating exhibition Ego. Remember Me, is based on personal stories of English, Polish and German soldiers and civilians. “It shows who they were,” explains director Sarah Thurlings.
