    Well Worth a Visit
    This free to enter museum is located on the riverbank by the bridge. It tells the story of the Market Garden operation from World War II. It is a small museum, but the staff are exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. We found our visit quite moving.

    Interesting Museum
    Interesting smallish museum with a varity of displays relating to Arnhem during world war II. Free entry and some helpful guides to tell you about things. You can also wander around at will. Look out for William of Orange and his efforts during the war.

    Arnhem museum guide 24
    Arnhem has always been on my bucket list as a significant historic place. Airborne museum was outstanding. We had a very detailed brief from the staff their, he was ex Dutch military, and he brought the event to life with the tactics involved from all sides and how units struggled from start to finish of the action. Toilet facilities on site, little coffee shop, and museum store filled with books in multiple languages and UK Para memorabilia. A must for military history buffs. We then walked around the local area, which was filled with history. You can walk after hearing the tour in the museum. Plenty of parking areas (you do have to pay for parking). Plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops.

I have been visiting Arnhem for years but never knew about this museum. I was walking in the downtown and a friend asked if I was interested in seeing the museum about the bridge. It's a small exhibit but very well organized and with a lot of information. There is a video in the basement about the progression of the battle that is also very much worth seeing. This museum should be a must see when visiting Arnhem.

Part of the circuit if your interested in the history of Arnhem around Sept 44. The museum is free of charge and you are able to make a donation should you wish to. There are a couple of audio visual presentations, making the information concise and clear. Various photos and information boards plus good views of the existing bridge.

This free museum offers a quick overview of the battle of the Arnhem bridge. The guide gave us a quick intro as well as some not known details.
Some interactive animations and videos showed the battle and there was a small store. Great quick museum to supplement the other war museums.

This tiny museum is small but right beside the bridge over the Rhine and very, very welcoming. It is free so I suspect run by enthusiastic volunteers. It gives you a flavour of the hell that occurred here in 1944 without leaving you shellshocked (deliberate choice of words). It is well worth then taking a walk onto the bridge and across it if you have the time.

This is a small museum, free to enter, that tells the story of the battle for the bridge at Arnhem is September 1944, primarily through three combatants: one British, one German, and one Dutch, all of whom died during the battle.

There actually isn't a great deal to see within the museum; a few items of memorabilia, interpretation boards telling the story of the three, a video set in the lower level and s small book / gift shop. Coffee can be purchased within by buying a token from the counter.

However, two things make the museum worth stopping by: the enthusiasm and knowledge of the volunteers, and the view of the bridge through the large windows, that puts everything inside into context.

Went on a Wednesday afternoon and we got in for free. But what a terrible experience, a very pushy man who apparently liked to hear himself talk kept talking and talking. Completely confused, my friends and I were happy to be outside again, what a nasty person.
There are probably more employees around who can talk calmly, but this man really needs to be fired.

A very good museum, run by volunteers who know their Bridge too Far. Some info here that wasn't elsewhere, but a lot more on the film, and an excellent view of the bridge. It's free, or a donation, and well worth a visit as it also has a free car park.
