The museum immerses you in the turbulent times of WWII and the Battle of the Ardennes through three unique visitor experiences:
Firstly, the actual museum itself with 3 fantastic movie experiences that you should not miss.
Further in the building you can go to the great immersive visitor experience 'Generation 45': the replica of the ruins of Bastogne cannot leave you indifferent.
Finally, you can also go to the Bois Jacques with a separate entrance ticket. Here a piece of forest was closed off with fences and you have to scan your ticket before you can enter. Here you can experience (via your smartphone) what the daily life of the GIs of the Easy Company was like, who had to seek shelter in the so-called 'Foxholes'
A streaming tip on Streamz: The great TV series 'Band of Brothers' shows what role this Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, US 101st Airborne Division, had in WWII.
