Has anyone ever been to the 1st Para's museum at Oosterbeek? It's called "Airborne Museum Hartenstein." If so, how'd you like it? How long a stop is it? Other thoughts?

I stopped by last summer and spent about 2-3 hours there. It is in the middle of nowhere (probably accessible by bus but a friend dropped me off) but interesting to walk through and low key. It is mostly about the WWII Market Garden airborne operation. Much info in English and a couple of the big European tour buses were there too. Most stuff is indoors and it has a very small snack bar and free toilets too.

Thanks, sounds like what I was looking for. We'll be traveling by car so that part shouldn't be a problem. A couple of summers ago I made a point while we were in Normandy to stop by Pegasus Bridge and that was a real treat; but also very low key. Not even any tourist buses.
