War

The In Flanders Fields Museum presents the story of the First World War in the West Flanders front region. It is located in the renovated Cloth Halls of Ypres, an important symbol of wartime hardship and later recovery. The completely new permanent exhibition (opening 11 June 2012) tells the story of the invasion of Belgium and the first months of the mobilisation, the four years trench war in the Westhoek - from the beach of Nieuwpoort to the Leie in Armentières -, the end of the war and the permanent remembrance ever since.

The International Museum of Political Violence in Rotterdam explores the wide spectrum of political violence throughout history through visual arts, design, multimedia, and (educational) technology.

The museum focuses on the Battle of the Bulge and it's located in a former Customs Office, which was by turns in German and Belgian hands in the last centuries. The museum displays dioramas and vehicles which would have been part of the historical event (jeeps, motors, half-tracks, cannons and tanks).

Gelibolu (Gallipoli) is a ilçe (district) center of Çanakkale Province in Turkish Thrace. It is situated in the north east of a peninsula bearing the same name. Its name is well known because of the Gallipoli Campaign, a series of 1915-battles during the World War I. There are frequent references to other wars also. Withdrawal room is the room of Allies withdrawal. In this room weapons and various tools the Allies left during the evacuation from the peninsula are exhibited. They are deliberatively cracked by the Allies.

The House of Terror Museum - the only one of its kind - is a monument to the memory of those held captive, tortured and killed in this building. The Museum, while presenting the horrors in a tangible way, also intends to make people understand that the sacrifice for freedom was not in vain. Ultimately, the fight against the two cruellest systems of the 20th century ended with the victory of the forces of freedom and independence.

The War Museum was established by the Hellenic State in 1964 in order to honor all those who fought for the country's freedom. The relevant study was undertaken by a team of distinguished scientists, headed by Professor Thoukidides Valentis of the National Technical University of Athens (N.T.U.A). On July 18, 1975, the President of the Hellenic Republic H.E. Constantine Tsatsos and the Minister of National Defense Evangelos Averof-Tositsas inaugurated the Museum.

The Atlantic Wall (German: Atlantikwall) was an extensive system of coastal defence and fortifications built by Nazi Germany between 1942 and 1944, along the coast of continental Europe and Scandinavia as a defence against an anticipated Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe from the United Kingdom, during World War II. The museum is a military museum near Ostend in Belgium which preserves fortifications of the Atlantic Wall dating to the First and Second World Wars.

World War I was a complex and ambiguous event. The time has come to overcome traditional narratives and categories of nations, epic pictures of war, debates about war guilt and rivalries between a History from "above" and one from “below”. In this virtual exhibition, we would like to invite you to explore World War I from different perspectives with all its inconsistencies.

Visions of War examines how serving soldiers and official war artists depicted conflict on the Western Front during World War One in paintings, drawings, watercolours and sculpture. It touches upon the lives of the artists and soldiers who made these works and explores their artistic approaches.

The 101st Airborne museum in Bastogne is located in the former officers mess building of the Belgian Army, built in 1936.
This prestigious building was used by the German army as "Unteroffiziersheim" during the occupation of Bastogne in WWII.
After the war it was used as a hospital by the Red Cross. This unique building with its rich history is the perfect place to gather and display the military history of the 101st Airborne Division and units involved in the Battle of Bastogne in December 1944 - January 1945.
