We warmly welcome you to one of the world’s most impressive war museums. The Airborne Museum is a historic building: in mid 1944 it was a hotel, but in September that year, it was the headquarters of the British commander-in-chief, Major General Roy Urquhart of the 1st Airborne Division.
From here, Urquhart commanded Operation Market Garden – a dramatic battle in which 92 Polish, 1,482 British and more than 1,800 German troops, along with almost 1,000 civilians, lost their lives. You can still feel the tension, the fear and the hardships in the museum.
