National Museum of Military History (Luxembourg)

The National Museum of Military History (Musée National d'Histoire Militaire, MNMH), located in Diekirch, Luxembourg, focuses on the Battle of the Bulge (also known as the Ardennes Offensive) and other aspects of Luxembourg's military history. Opened in 1984, the museum provides a detailed look at the lives of soldiers and civilians during the Second World War, particularly the winter of 1944-1945.

The museum's exhibits include a large collection of military vehicles, weaponry, uniforms, and personal artifacts. Dioramas and realistic displays recreate scenes from the Battle of the Bulge, illustrating the harsh conditions and intense fighting that took place in the region. Emphasis is placed on the experiences of both American and German soldiers, as well as the local population who were caught in the crossfire.

Beyond the Battle of the Bulge, the museum also covers Luxembourg's military history from earlier periods, albeit to a lesser extent. Information about Luxembourgish soldiers who served in foreign armies and other military-related topics can be found within the museum's collections.

The National Museum of Military History aims to provide an accurate and objective account of the war, avoiding glorification of violence and instead focusing on the human cost of conflict. It serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives and a reminder of the importance of peace. The museum also conducts research and educational programs to promote understanding of military history and its impact on society.
