Probably the smallest museum I've ever been to but well put together and worth the entry fee and the effort. The gentleman at the ticket desk was kind, helpful and welcoming and this little project threw a different slant on the history of the German occupation of Jeresy. More

A local curator brings the occupation to life. Loads of german kit and the bunker isa tribute to german engineering. They are selling quite a lot of nazi artifacts at very low prices so a must for collectors. More

It was raining so we needed indoor attractions, my wife visited the nice clean Jersey Pearl Factory and shop opposite, I trudged through 80 metres of mud to visit this. Nice sized Car Park, potholes, mud and puddles to negotiate. If you pay for an attraction you expect good access, this was well short of expectation. A German War Bunker... More

A wonderful museum, an old German bunker. Just enough information and the right amount of things to see. The curator was friendly and helpful. I would go again. More

From the outside this appears to be a very small museum, but when you get inside it is Tardis-like! There is a great deal to see and several rooms crammed with exhibitions of WW2 life on Jersey under German occupation. There is so much German wartime equipment there it is hard to take it all in! And just like British... More
