This is of course a very personal thing, but let's try and make a list and come up with some reason why's.
United Kingdom:
Imperial War museum in London.
Allways worth a visit - not only because they have a fantastic collection. But also because the layout of the museum and different exibitions makes it very alive and inviting.
Not too many weapons stacked together - only the most important ones. Like their choice of uniforms.
The WWI trench experience is scary and the Blitz experience, where you actually sits in a bombshelter during the blitz is truely amacing.
They always have some very interesting special exebitions too.
Imperial War Museum/Duxford is - surprise, surprise - my favourit museum over all.
Great planes - flying, being re-built and maintained in this historic airfield.
Fantastic stationary exebition of planes. The American Museum is a great tribute to USAAF.
And the Airshows they run....:eusa_clap
The mecca for all true flyboys. I love it!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
France:
Musee de la Paix in Caen
Fairly new - and a fantastic experience. Architecture and exebition working together in a "not-seen-yet" way.
Takes you through the background of WWII - the 30s, with a walk down a spirale, always down - untill you end up in front of a huge picture of Hitler at a nazi rally in Munich. (Scary)
The dark, depressing time of the occupation is litterally getting you down, when you walk through the sombre low cieling area...the D-day experience knocks you off your feet, with its double screen movie.
The tools of war - layed out in an almost clinical, white hall.
GREAT and different.
Makes you stop - makes you think.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
The D-day museum in Bayeux.
Great museum, uniforms, weapons etc. from axis and allies.
To my liking maybe just a little bit too crowded. Too many things to see.
You sort of "gets blinded" when you walk through it.
But a must for all D-day afficionados.
Denmark (If you ever come this way ):
The Museum of Resistance
Close to the Royal Palace. Gives you a good and solid overview of the five occupation years. Fairly modern layout and easy to get through. Many facinating items.
