Piconrue - Musee de la Grande Ardenne, Bastogne

An interesting museum, but the exhibitions are not so impressive. The most interesting is the one related to the fairytales.

This museum currently houses the temporary exhibit: "From Texas to Bastogne--Texas Aggies Go To War." This well done exhibit tells to story of five students beginning with their roots in Texas, experiences at Texas A&M, the start of the war and the impact that conflict had on that generation. The exhibit weaves together perfectly the history of the causes for WWII, the impact on young people and their families and the sacrifice of Americans in the important Battle of the Bulge. This exhibit is associated with the newly renovated Bastogne War Museum although it is not located near the War Museum but instead back in town at the Musee en Piconrue near McAuliffe Square. The exhibit will only be in Bastogne until August 31, 2016 and then will move to Texas. Definitely must include in any visit to Bastogne.
