Bulge Relics Museum 🇧🇪

The “Bulge Relics Museum is the fruit of a passionate quest started in 1984 on the land of our ancestors who experienced this terrible winter 1944-1945. The BRM presents on several levels of an old historic building thousands of artefacts related to the the Ardennes offensive, mostly found in the Vielsalm and Baraque de Fraiture region. A didactical path through pictures, displays, vehicles and showcases brings you back to those dark hours of winter 1944 which saw the American forces mainly fighting the elite troops of the SS panzerdivisions.

The story

On this beautiful, sunny fall day, what could be more delightful than exploring the horrors of a certain war? Today, I visited the Bulge Relics Museum!

Armed with two cameras – a 16-80mm with Polaroid II bullets loaded and the classic 35mm Zeiss with Tri-X 400 shells for that vintage look – I was ready. Both barrels were equipped with circular polarizing filters to eliminate any annoying reflections from glass displays.

It didn’t take long to decide: black and white was the way to go here!
