1. MNHM National Museum of Military History
Overall Ratings

First this museum was dedicated to the "Battle of the Bulge" in Luxembourg in winter 1944/45. The key topic of the museum remains the balanced and objective historical representation of the military operations in the Ardennes from the german, american and civilian points of view. Over 3000m2 of exhibition space enable an insight of the dramatic and tragic situations that both, soldiers and civilians, were caught in. Special showrooms feature extensive collections of weapons, uniforms, military equipment of all kind, wheeled- and tracked vehicles, in addition to numerous personal soldier's belongings, photographs, documents and maps. The museum's core is doubtlessly the detailed diorama of the night-time Sauer river crossing at Diekirch on January 18th, 1945. Another part is dedicated to the history of Luxembourg's own armed forces. Other sections are dedicated to Luxembourgers fighting in allied armies in both WWI, WWII, and during the Korean conflict.

3. General Patton Memorial Museum

Two floors give a remarkably in-depth view of the occupation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg during WWII and the special place General George S. Patton holds in the hearts of the inhabitants. Original artifacts, uniforms, weaponry etc. abound and show the fact that Ettelbruck was liberated twice, the second time in December 1944 by General Patton's Third Army.

We heard about this museum and decided to take a slight detour to visit it. Not at all disappointed. Organized chronologically from the occupation to the resistance to the liberation, it is a great glimpse into what the occupation and war in Luxembourg was like. Not just about Patton, this also features some of the local heros and the resistance as well. Definitely worth the visit and very poignant at this time in the world.
