Visited on a family holiday in August. You need to show up at the gate at given hour. This is no "anytime entry, wonder by yourself museum" but active military base, where the whole group needs to be escorted at all times. Great Bastogne siege display/reconstruction, very knowledgable tour guide (a sargeant in Belgian army), then the main attraction - huge garage with all the great tanks and armoured vehicles. My boys were so happy. A must do for any World of Tanks player. The price of entry is very low - 8 EUR per adult (card payment only), kids go free! Excellent!!!

It's in a historic building situated in Joubiéval that the « Bulge Relics Museum » presents on several floors battlefield relics that were recovered from the battlefields of Vielsalm, Lierneux and at the Baraque de Fraiture crossroads. A didactical path through pictures, displays, vehicles and sceneries makes you relive those dark days of winter 1944 which saw US forces face mainly the elite troops of the SS panzerdivisions. Thousands of artifacts that, directly risen from that time, depict the everyday living of these men dragged by the storm of the battle. The museum will be opened from June up to September at weekends from 13 til 17 pm. It will also possible to visit it during the weeks as well as on special occasions but on appointment only. Schools : A special didactical file to be printed can be mailed in advance to teachers.
The tour of the Bulge Relics Museum was the highlight of the group's visit to the area, which also included stops at local monuments and battlefield positions. The collection of uniforms, weapons, general supplies and artifacts is terrific and the condition of many items on display is excellent. The stories and information presented by the curator / guide conducting our tour was exceptionally interesting. If you are in the Ardennes, a visit to this hidden gem is definitely worth the time and entrance fee.

This 101st Airborne Museum is a tribute to the men of the American 101st Airborne Division who were surrounded and held off German forces who tried to take Bastogne. The museum holds many artifacts from the Battle of the Bulge, ranging from weapons, uniforms, and equipment, both American and German. There are glass-enclosed displays of life-sized wax figures of soldiers and civilians as well as audio recordings describing the battle, Not to be missed is the air raid shelter in the basement of the museum where one can go inside a room where there is an audio-visual account of the battle taking place where the traveler can get an account in how the battle was going on while sitting in the air-raid shelter. You can hear a dog barking, tanks rumbling, an airplane dropping a bomb shattering glass and rifle and machine- gun fire, all from the inside of the shelter wondering what it was like to have endured the sounds of the fighting. This museum is a gem and well worth the visit

Museum Gaspar is housed in the residence of the middle-class family Gaspar from Arlon who had set up in this house (1893) that was built in 1842. It was renovated in 2004. The two most famous members of this family are animal sculptor Jean-Marie Gaspar (1861-1931) and Charles Gaspar (1971-1950) who was a photographer and a sponsor. He gave his house to the town of Arlon on the condition they make a museum of it, dedicated to his brother's work and that put into honour the history and the heritage of Arlon. At the first floor, theree are two restored salons identical to a middle-class salon from the early 20th century that show Jean-Marie Gaspar's sculptures. and the art and picture collection of Charles Gaspar. The rest of the first floor is dedicated to temporary exhibitions of the museum that alternates artv and history. A religion room shows collections about the abbey of Orval and to the people's devotion at the 18th century, and also relics from the ancient Saint-Martin church. But the Masterpiece is the famous altarpiece Retable de Fisenne - a 16th century masterpiece from the Antwerp school. This beautiful house was a bank at the origin. It was bought in 1893 by a middle-class family from Arlon, the family Gaspar. Jean Gaspar (1861-1931) was a sculptor. He was trained by the Antwerp sculptor Jef Lambeaux. His works are in bronze and in plaster and they are exhibited in the salons that have been restorated as they were in his house. His brother Charles (1871-1950) was a photographer, a collector and a sponsor. He gave this house to the town of Arlon. It hosts the library of the Archaeological Institute of the Belgian Province of Luxembourg and its secretary office since 1954. A wide part of the museum is also dedicated to temporary exhibitions about art and history of Arlon.
