The museum shows how the Battle of Arnhem unfolded. It took place in September 1944 in the area between Ede and Arnhem and was part of the Allied operation ‘Market Garden’. British, American and Polish airborne troops had to occupy the bridges over the rivers from the Belgian border to Arnhem. The museum is located in the former Hotel Hartenstein. This former hotel was the headquarters of the 1st British Airborne Division under the command of Major General Roy Urquhart during the Battle of Arnhem. The hotel was largely destroyed during WWII, but was restored after the war. Since 1980, it has been home to the Airborne Museum. Tourist information Opening hours
