A wonderful and deceptively large museum - so much more than meets the eye. The exhibits are well curated and clearly detail the stories. Everything is thoughtfully displayed and the transformation of the basement provides a wonderful crescendo to the visit. Would highly recommend a visit. We were fortunate enough to visit on the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden, so witnessed additional highlights such as a Dakota fly past and were surrounded by an abundance of VIPs and veterans visiting.

Really excellent museum. Loads of interesting things to see on the top 2 floors and then the amazing ‘airborne experience’ in the basement. Well worth the €15 adult admission fee. The museum is in the house that was HQ for the British forces in 1944, so in itself it has so much historical significance. It’s a short walk to the war cemetery through lovely Oosterbeek once you leave the museum. Oosterbeek is one stop on the train from Arnhem Centraal costing €3.2 for a return ticket.

I’ve been to many military museums over the years and this one of, if not best experiences I’ve had. The museum is well thought out with an exceptional audio guide which worked well with my wife’s hearing aid and cochlear implant. The stories of the veterans and the towns people who lived through the battle were brilliantly told through the exhibits and recorded stories. The Airborne experience was immersive and helped to put the exhibits in the Hartenstein Hotel into context. Well worth a visit, we spent at least four hours there and then walked to the cemetery. Arnhem and Oosterbeek are beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Travel from Amsterdam was easy by train and bus. The museum is a fitting tribute to all who took part in the battle, it was a privilege and a pleasure to visit.

A jam packed museum with great audio commentary which adds to the experience and you can select the specific exhibits to your taste too. Great explanation of Operation Market Garden. A very sobering and informative trip. Our teens particularly enjoyed the immersive experience in the basement. We spent a couple of hours here and could have stayed longer to find out more.

The museum was very interesting with moving stories of the courageous men who fought there in 1944. In the Battle of Arnhem and operation Market Garden. It was moving to learn how many lost their lives during the failed operation and how the Dutch had suffered during the war and the attempts by the British and Polish tried to liberate the town..

Nice little museum located in former headquarters of British First Parachute Division during Operation Market Garden. Has some good artifacts, but also tells the personal stories of a number of participating people, and not just soldiers. Between the history of the building and the captivating exhibits, well worth a trip.

An excellent way to learn about the battle for the bridges in Arnhem 80 years ago, with a real focus on Airborne Forces. The displays are interesting and the various films explaining the phases of the battle are excellent. Good shop and cafe all add to the overall impression of an excellent museum with a wealth of history as a key building during the battle at the centre of Operation Market Garden. Look for the Lonsdale door as a testament to utter bravery and inspirational leadership

Leave plenty of time for your visit to this museum. The top two floors include artefacts and personal stories from Operation Market Garden in September 1944. You are given an audio box and there’s lots of interesting stories and facts to listen to as you go around. It’s so well laid out. At the moment there is a temporary exhibition on one floor about a hospital in Arnhem that was originally established by an order of German nuns. They continued to work in the hospital besides the Dutch and English after September 1944. Finally, there is a very interactive experience exhibition on the lowest floor. Really well done and very evocative. Unfortunately it was raining hard so we didn’t get the chance to walk around the park surrounding the museum. We did visit the war cemetery though which was very moving. We need these types of reminders!

A beautiful museum about the battle of Arnhem. The parking lot next to it is far too small and the large parking lots within walking distance have a maximum parking time. Well, and then you park the car in a street, in my opinion very annoying for the residents of Oosterbeek. Too bad that wasn't thought of.

The exhibition in the building did not appeal to us much, but the experience in the basement is so lifelike that it takes you away. We are going to include this museum in our day trip about “Operation Market Garden”. The adjacent restaurant is perfect for a delicious lunch.
