This armor plate is symbolic in many ways:

it is an artefact, a RELIC, since it comes from a tank that was destroyed in the surroundings of Sarts, during the Battle of the BULGE. Affixed to the wall of our MUSEUM, it reminds people what happened then...

We were born in the Belgian Ardennes, one of the worst areas of the Second World War, where the so-called "Battle of the Bulge" took place.

We have always been interested in the history of our region, where our parents and grandparents experienced that dreadful winter 1944-1945 !

In 1984, we started looking for artifacts dating back to that period of time, in most cases very rusty or in a pitiful state !

30 years later, our small museum presents on several floors those relics, often lost under tragic circumstances.

They remind us, beyond the objects, the everyday life of those men, civilians or soldiers, as well as the importance to perpetuate the memory of those events for future generations.

Enjoy your visit !
