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.

The exhibition is worth seeing. Photos from all corners of the globe, showing diversity of human life and inevitable common traits. The birth, the death, and everything in between, the joy and sorrow of a human being.

See, hear, touch, smell and taste: Discover your 5 senses in a playful, pedagogical and original way in the leisure centre Park Sennesraich. In the "room of the 5 senses" visitors discover the hidden abilities of the human body. On the ground floor the experiments are all about the different sensory perceptions. Water, electricity and power are the themes that are treated on the first floor. Each area is made up of numerous stations that visitors can discover on their own. The outdoor area of the Park Sennesraich, the "garden of the 5 senses", invites visitors to linger and play. Children can use up their energy in the playground or in the multi-sport field, find their way through the labyrinth, test the barefoot path and discover the herb garden.
9. General Patton Memorial Museum

4.0 based on 62 reviews
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.
