Bastogne Historical Centre is located in a rather special building. Unfortunately the museum has a very strict "No photography" policy, so we have no photos from the inside of the museum - see below.

Editor comment:

This museum has a completely foolish and very visitor unfriendly
"No photography" policy, which they insist on via posters for each
2-4 metres all over the museum.

Therefore we have no pictures from inside this museum.

From the euro-t-guide.com we don't understand why some museums keep up this very old-fashioned and "closed" approach to the public taking pictures. Private or semi-professional pictures will often give the museum a lot of free PR - especially if they are used on the Internet.

The use of flash can be a problem. We understand and respect this, but then just ban the use of flash.

The museum has a very nice collection of authentic uniforms and items from the Battle of the Bulge (incl. a few vehicles), so it is worth to visit - even if it is one of the more expensive museums in the area. 

But if you want to bring pictures back from your visit, then you should consider to visit one of the other World War II museums in the area. They all have a more visitor friendly policy towards photography - and often have more or less the same kind of exhibition.
