At the former naval airbase, also known from the musical Soldaat van Oranje, the former communications bunker has been converted into an exhibition area.

Here, the Stichting Historie Vliegveld Valkenburg has set up a permanent exhibition on the history of the airfield, from the 1930s to its closure in 2006.

The collection contains numerous photos, models and small objects, as well as, for example, the aircraft stairs down which many heads of state descended and a complete aircraft engine. Also on display are objects recently unearthed during works, such as parts of German and Dutch aircraft. An important place is occupied by a metre-long, highly detailed historical model with hangars and aircraft.

The 1982 above-ground bunker is just past the main entrance on the left. If you say at the barrier that you want to go to the 'museum', you may drive through. Follow the blue signs to building '250'.
