A regional perspective
See how the display involves the local surroundings in the military story. This can help you connect larger subjects to the places mentioned in the explanations.
Different experiences
Veterans’ stories call for attention to their own context. Read who is speaking and which event is being covered, without letting a single experience stand for the whole subject.
Remembrance and activities
Remembrance and re-enactment activities are mentioned as additional offerings. They are tied to specific dates and are not automatically part of a regular museum opening.
Before you go
Confirm the exact visiting address in Achtmaal in advance. Saturday afternoon opening applies during the season; in winter and at other times an appointment is required.
