Nice museum. Takes 2-3 hours. Impressive movie also. Gift shop not overly expensive. Nice restaurant and Tavern next door. Do drink a Waterloo beer. They are served in a cup instead of a glass.

If you are interested in history, you are from the U.S.A. as I am, and your school experience was dominated by American history as was mine, this is a great site. It expanded my knowledge of the evolution from aristocracy forms of government and revolutionary change to modern forms of government. It also, in my opinion, highlighted the dangers of ultimate power in one individual as opposed to governments with separation of power. It opened my eyes and had lessons that apply to current geopolitical alliances and tensions. I was there during the conflict in Ukraine March of 2022.
