This museum does not seem to receive many visitors except for tourist with a keen interest in military history, in particular World War Two. Located in the small but quaint town Diekirch, this museum deals almost exclusively with the Battle of the Bulge which was fought right here in Northern Luxembourg. The museum has a superb collection of vehicles and armoury from the Battle. However why it wins such acclaim is for the excellent lifesize dioramas depicting the fighting and lifestyle that the soldiers on both sides had to endure. The dioramas and displays are very objective in there analysis of the Battle of the Bulge. Both the German and American sides of the battle are equally emphasised. I was surprised by the scope and size of this museum and spent over two hours in going from gallery to gallery, so obsorbed was I by it.

I didn't know that Vauban also built the fortifications in Luxembourg. In Germany he built some very elaborate ones in Freiburg in Breisgau, where there is now a very interesting new neighborhood named after him. | traveldave Wed Jul 12, 2006 16:36 UTC
Luxembourg looks like a nice little country to visit. I'm particularly interested in WWII, so the military museum would definitely be a must-see for me. | deecat Wed Jul 12, 2006 02:07 UTC
