Museum Deelen: aviation history on the ground

Museum Deelen deals with the air base and the air war of 1940–1945. Photos, uniforms and technical remains bring together different sides of that subject.

Objects with a background

Wreckage parts are a striking part of the collection, but only gain meaning through their explanation. Look at what origin is known and which event is linked to it. That helps you look beyond just shape, material or damage.

Technology and organisation

Radar, night fighting and the V1 are among the subjects. The Canadian DemobDump is also covered. The mix of photos, equipment and technical objects offers openings to ask about both people and materiel.

Plan your visiting day carefully

The museum lists Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday as regular visiting days. Some older or other pages leave out Wednesday; check that day with the museum before you go. Groups can make a separate appointment.

Before you go

Especially check a Wednesday visit in advance, because different pages do not show the same schedule.
