The museum is also home to an impressive collection of film and television props and costumes from productions including Band of Brothers, Braveheart, A Bridge Too Far, and Game of Thrones.

Throughout the year, the museum hosts Living History Weekends, historical re-enactments, talks, exhibitions, and family-friendly events, bringing history to life with costumed interpreters, military displays, and interactive demonstrations. Many of these special events are included with standard admission.

Real-life Escape Games

1. Derelict Prison – Escape the Legend

• The Story: While exploring abandoned buildings with your friends, you stumble upon a derelict underground prison that seems untouched for decades. Curious, you slip inside… and suddenly the heavy doors slam shut behind you. The lights flicker on, ancient sensors activate, and the air begins to leak out of the room. It hits you—this is a legendary, high-security prison you’ve only heard rumors about.

• The Mission: Surrounded by atmospheric tension, hidden clues, and mind-bending puzzles, you and your team have exactly 60 minutes to solve the mysteries and escape before the air runs out. Can your team survive?

• Quick Stats:

  • Duration: 60 minutes

  • Players: 2–8 players (Note: This room is especially challenging for two players. For the best experience and chance of escaping, a team of 4 or more is strongly recommended!)

2. Catch the Hacker – True Detective Challenge

• The Story: Step into the shoes of a elite cyber-detective unit. A dangerous hacker is at large, and it is up to your squad to track them down, crack their security, and stop them before it’s too late.

• The Mission: This is a high-stakes race against the clock where you’ll solve clever puzzles, decode encrypted messages, and unlock physical locks. Don’t worry—no actual computer coding or technical experience is required to play. It’s a pure, high-energy test of teamwork, sharp logic, and a healthy pinch of humor.
