Musée des Blindés

Pictures and 1 video from the Musée des Blindés ( Museum of Armour) in France. The equivalent of Bovington, it has a an excellent collection of WWII German armour including a running King Tiger and the only examples of French WWI heavy tanks, one of which was absent due to a visit to a 100th anniversary celebration. There are 6 main halls:
German WWII
1940, French Campaign
Warsaw Pact
Allied WWII
French
Contemporary World
Along with the smaller:
1914-1918
Resistance
Exhibition (closed)
Italian
Engines
Avenue of Great Men
Outside are the usual gate guardians plus an AMX-13 exhibition section which could use a good coat of paint.
The Panzer II Luchs 17:56 was returning from Militracks at Overloon.
