A visit to the museum will transport you back to wartime Britain, you will experience the sights, the sounds, even the smells of those dangerous years. It is a series of expertly-recreated scenes covering all aspects of World War II, constructed in the huts of a genuine prisoner of war camp. The huts have been re-equipped to tell the story of The People's War, the social history of pfe in Britain from 1939 to 1945. So many Museums simply display exhibits in cabinets and on walls and are pretty dull affairs, but not Eden Camp. Realistic tableaux, with moving figures, authentic sounds and smells have been created to "transport you back in time". Each hut covers a different aspect of the story, starting with the rise of the Nazi Party, Hitler and The Outbreak of War. Other huts have been allocated miptary themes. From 1990 to 1995 a series of huts were opened, creating a "Museum within a Museum". In these huts the miptary and poptical events of the Second World War around the world are covered in detail. During 1992 a prefab was reconstructed on site which is an excellent example of the post war housing efforts. Additionally a dig for victory garden was created and a Garden of Remembrance. ....
