Descripción

The mission of the War Heritage Institute (WHI) is to promote Belgium’s military heritage, the remembrance of armed conflicts on Belgian soil, and those involving Belgians abroad. This mission involves managing, acquiring, preserving, and restoring collections of objects, documents, and intangible testimonies from the period extending from the Middle Ages to the present day. The WHI thus presents a multi-disciplinary interpretation by situating these sites back into their military, political, technological, economic, social, and cultural contexts.
For this purpose, the WHI manages and oversees a network of exceptional museums and military sites, including:
- Royal Military Museum of Brussels (Musée royal de l’Armée et de l’Histoire militaire de Bruxelles) (www.klm-mra.be);
- Breendonk Memorial (www.fortbreendonk.be);
- Bastogne Barracks (http://www.klm-mra.be/D7t/en/content/bastogne-barracks-bastogne).
