Airborne Museum at Hartenstein

The Airborne Museum is a museum about the Battle of Arnhem. In September ‘44, Villa Hartenstein was the headquarters of the British airborne troops. Now you can learn all about the battle that should have ended WW2. The Airborne Experience puts you right in the middle of the battle - from the airborne landings into the heath of the evacuation across the Rhine. For children there is ‘Mission Hartenstein’. Guided by soldier Tommy Atkins, they listen to stories, carry out assignments and unravel the secrets of Hartenstein.
