Why Is the Airborne Museum in Arnhem So Famous? You Won’t Believe What’s Inside!

Airborne Museum The museum, housed in the former headquarters of the British troops during the battle, has an extensive collection of weapons, clothing, equipment, interviews, photos and videos. In addition to the exhibited collection, the museum also houses the award-winning Airborne Experience. In this underground space, visitors can follow in the footsteps of a soldier themselves. On the Arnhem Rijnkade, opposite the John Frost Bridge, the museum also has the information centre, Airborne at the Bridge, about the Battle of Arnhem. The museum focuses not only on the Allied side of the story, but also shows the German side and the civilian population involved. The museum aims to show that freedom can never be taken for granted. The Airborne Museum was completely renovated in 2020 and is involved in a series of events around the Battle of Arnhem. The museum, which is close to the Airborne War Cemetery, serves as a meeting place for veterans and others who commemorate the battle. Historical records from 1728 indicate that an inn called ‘Het Rode Hert’ (‘The Red Deer’) stood at the important crossroad of the 'Utrechtseweg' in Oosterbeek. In 1779 the inn and the surrounding land was acquired by a wealthy attorney to the Court of Gelderland named J. van der Sluys. The inn was demolished and in its place a mansion was constructed complete with adjacent annexes. The new mansion was named ‘Hartenstein’. After the death of Van der Sluys, ‘Hartenstein’ was passed along to a variety of owners. In 1865 the present building appeared on the site and a coach house was built next to it (now the site of restaurant ‘Hartenstein@Laurie'). In 1905 the villa was extended with two conservatories. Finally, in 1942, the Municipality of Renkum became Hartenstein's new owner and transformed it into a hotel. I hope you enjoy this video, If you do then please leave a like and comment.
