Muckleburgh Military Collection

Attraction | Holt | Angleterre | Royaume Uni

La collection militaire de Muckleburgh est l'un des plus grands musées militaires privés du Royaume-Uni et est située près de Holt, dans le comté de Norfolk. Le musée est installé sur le site d'une ancienne position de défense aérienne de la Royal Air Force datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et abrite une impressionnante collection de véhicules militaires historiques, d'armes, d'équipements et de souvenirs militaires.

Histoire et contexte
La collection a été fondée dans les années 1980 par Sir Michael Savory et son père Berry Savory. À l'origine, le site était une base de défense aérienne pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et a ensuite servi de terrain d'entraînement pour l'armée britannique. Après la fermeture de la base, le site a été transformé en musée pour préserver l'histoire militaire et la rendre accessible au public.

Exposition et collections
La collection militaire de Muckleburgh comprend une variété d'expositions couvrant différentes périodes, notamment la Première et la Seconde Guerre mondiale ainsi que des conflits militaires ultérieurs. Les points forts incluent :

- Véhicules militaires : Le musée possède une impressionnante collection de véhicules blindés, y compris des chars, des canons d'artillerie et des véhicules de transport blindés, dont certains sont encore pleinement opérationnels.
- Avions : En plus des véhicules, il y a aussi des avions historiques et des systèmes de défense aérienne rappelant l'histoire de l'aviation.
- Uniformes et équipements : Les visiteurs peuvent admirer une vaste collection d'uniformes, de casques, d'ordres et d'équipements militaires personnels de différentes époques.
- Dioramas et expositions interactives : Le musée propose des scènes de bataille réalistes qui illustrent l'histoire et les conditions de vie des soldats.
- Départements de la marine et de l'armée de l'air : Ces sections présentent différentes armes, systèmes de communication et équipements de la marine et de l'armée de l'air britanniques.

Expériences et activités
Une caractéristique particulière de la collection militaire de Muckleburgh est la possibilité de voir certains des véhicules historiques en action. Les visiteurs peuvent réserver des balades en véhicules blindés certains jours pour mieux comprendre leur fonctionnement et leur importance sur le terrain. De plus, il y a régulièrement des démonstrations et des événements spéciaux où des experts donnent un aperçu de sujets militaires historiques.

Signification et pertinence
Le musée ne se contente pas d'exposer des artefacts historiques, mais sert également de lieu d'éducation pour promouvoir la compréhension des conflits militaires, de la technologie et des expériences des soldats. Il s'adresse aux passionnés d'histoire, aux familles, aux écoles et aux chercheurs intéressés par l'histoire militaire britannique.

La collection militaire de Muckleburgh est l'une des institutions militaires les plus importantes du Royaume-Uni et offre aux visiteurs un voyage fascinant et instructif à travers l'histoire des forces armées britanniques.

So much to say about this place and so much to see. How pleasantly surprised we were on our visit. So much history and many historical vehicles. You could even have a ride on a tank, although we weren't able to this time but we would certainly go back for another visit. A nice cafe serving cakes, hot food and drinks. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Had a great time and a real eye opener and education for our 9 year old son. Enjoyed the freedom to wander around the exhibits plus good cafe too.

I did the drive a tank experience and it was great fun. The museum is excellent too. I can't believe how much they have squeezed into the place, but it doesn't feel cramped. Everything from models and displays to decommissioned weapons and real tanks and vehicles. So much information in an engaging format! We had to leave at lunch due to other commitments, after getting there first thing, but we could have easily spent another few hours. The kids loved it, asking so many questions and filling in the activity sheets. To top it off there was a surprise training operation involving two osprey helicopters which landed on the tank track. While a rare occurrence, I can't imagine many museums where that happens.

Brilliant museum. So much to see and do. We paid extra and took the 15 mins journey around the grounds on board a DAF army lorry. We had a fabulous time!

The collection is a bit mixed up, no real form to it all, although interesting. The large stuff, tanks etc are great but it's the other stuff that is all over the place. Disabled access is okay but could be improved upon and discounts for carers would be good.

Incredibly comprehensive and detailed. So much to see. Well worth visiting. Nice shop and restaurant too. We visited a couple of weeks ago and had such a friendly welcome from all the staff there including the owner, with whom we had a lovely conversation.

I took my partner for my partner's 50th birthday as he loves Tanks. We loved every minute of it, it wasn't busy which was nice. There is a cafe on site where we had coffee and a sandwich, the food was good as was the service..

Would thoroughly recommend a visit here. Absolutely brilliant if you like military vehicles and history. Spent a good 3 and half hours here and wasn't disappointed. Just when you thought you were near the end another room with more vehicles appeared. Well worth the £12 entrance fee. There's also a cafe which had a good selection of food and drink.

This is an amazing place, I would say that this is the best keep secret in Norfolk, especially if you have even the slightest interest in military history, It has a great cafe half way round. Yum yum 😋

We have been going past the tank museum for 36years. So on September 10th 2024 we had to come in for my wife's 75th birthday. We had a wonderful morning there & a lovely meal also. Please tell the 2 ladies on reception I didn't get my deep fried Mars bar from chip shop that evening as we had a power cut. Thank you for a lovely trip around tank museum.

A superb collection of historic militeria. Covers both world wars and the history of local regiments and the site itself. Fantastic collection of models. Cafe onsite as well as a shop. Slightly expensive entry fee but was worth it.
