The museum is partly located in an old customs house and relates the Battle of the Ardennes in the region between St. Vith and Vielsalm with dioramas of the real size : old military vehicles, models in uniforms, weapons, etc. and shows the authentic pictures taken in December 1944 on the spot - today a historic place.
