A hidden gem to be discovered by air force/World War II enthusiasts!
I visited this little museum with my boyfriend almost spontaneously and we both really enjoyed our time there! We are interested in air force and history so for us it was a great find and we for sure will visit it again. The museum has a good collection of the air force and World War II related items. There is a separate room where you can watch a movie about the air force in World War II and about the history and daily work of the museum itself. Also there is a morse code machine which the visitors are welcome to try out. The best thing about this place is that is it run by the volunteers who are truly enthusiastic about what they are doing and give the museum a very friendly atmosphere.

Interesting place to visit for the World War II aircraft enthusiast
This museum has quite a lot of locally recovered World War II exhibits, ranging from aircraft engines & propellers, sections of aircraft and various weapons, etc. They are all well documented with history and the details of where and when they were found and from what aircraft they originated from. There is not really enough space available in the museum to show everything well, so unfortunately some of the exhibits are a bit crowded, but they still remain very interesting for the WWII enthusiast. I recently visited the museum for the 2017 season opening day, which coinsided with having a collection of World War II Army vehicles (jeeps and trucks, etc.) that had assembled there as part of the local 'Liberation Day' celebrations (see photographs). If you are a local history enthusiast or enjoy looking at recovered World War II aircraft parts and wreckage, then this museum is worth a visit. It needs a little freshening-up in parts, but it can still provide you with a very interesting couple of hours.
