Plan your visit ↗

A regional view

Subjects such as aircraft crashes and raids connect the war to the local area. That local approach makes it worthwhile to ask about place names and origin. In this way, objects stay linked to the story the museum tells with them.

Attention to harrowing stories

Executions are also among the subjects covered. Take enough time to read the explanations, and if visiting with children, discuss beforehand what kind of history is addressed. A small museum subject need not be light.

Summer and winter differ

In season there is a Wednesday afternoon opening and a fortnightly Saturday arrangement. You need to look up the specific Saturday; in winter, visits are by appointment only. The museum is wheelchair accessible but has no accessible toilet.

Before you go

Check the correct Saturday and the season; if using a wheelchair, bear in mind the absence of an accessible toilet.
