    Anyone been to it yet? I see it's not long open and just outside Collon. I will probably head up to it in the near future.

    I went to see the museum yesterday (Sunday). It was easy to find following the instructions on the website. It is small but well laid out. I don't know what their plans for the future are but maybe they could use some of the surroundings for expansion. The owner was on site and he and his assistant were very friendly and helpful about the origins of the equipment. I gathered from him that he bought some materiél in Finland. I took some photos that I will try to post. Visitors may handle some of the rifles exhibited.

    Went there in July and they were talking about expanding, building some trenches etc. They are planning a WW1 Experience in September where they will be talking about life of soldiers during the WW1.
    I found the museum really good and informative, they also have some goats and horses, which can be fed and a nice playground. Overall, we had a nice day there.

    On the website it mentions zorbing, ziplining, clay pigeon shooting etc.... but there are no prices? Does anyone know anything about these activities?
