Howdy, I am researching places to visit in Europe in September. I came across the Panzermuseum in Thun while checking out the Interlaken area. Does anybody know what's in their collection ?
Thanks in advance !

I was there last year about this time. Definitely worth a visit. It's on an active army Base but you just have to show your passport at the guard shack and tell them you want to see the museum (outdoor display), it's not too far of a walk. PM me if you want more details. I would also suggest a trip to Full military museum , really good collection.

Just a few pics here (I have a ton more!); it was cool and raining. but I only had the one day there!

I like the paint job on that StuG. I wonder if it's been faithfully reproduced from the original.

Thanks for posting them!
